Hi Bill,

Sorry, .. but that is not true -- Apache DOES require a single bound IP for an SSL Virtual Host, .. SSL does NOT work with HTTP1.1 named hosts (your comment about IPs), and I would assume IIS works the same way.

No, .. Apache works just fine with the SSL directives *WITHIN* a Virtual Host declaration - we have been doing that for four years. You also can have separate CERTs for any VH.
