It does, however there is a limitation currently in OpenSSL in that it
can't renegotiate the protocol.
Hence this configuration will work only with browsers/clients
supporting (and advertising) the Server Name Indication (SNI), which
allows to select the correct VirtualHost before the negotiation
occurs.
Otherwise, Apache HTTPd will have to negotiate before being able to
read the requested Host header, and hence determine the VirtualHost.
Thus it will do the negotiation occording to the parameters (protocol,
ciphers, ...) of the first vhost declared on the listening IP:port.
If finally the determined vhost is not the one used for the
negotiation, it will ask for a renegotiation which, as said above,
won't take the SSLProtocol into consideration due to OpenSSL not being
able to do that (the SSLCipherSuite can be renegotiated though).

So all should be fine with SNI only.
