I'm new to virtual hosts; are they required to have different names, as seen from browsers? Ideally I'd like http://myserver and https://myserver to be valid and interchangable. On the other hand, I guess there are some pages that I would insist are accessed only with https so that implies I need to be able to control the access at least on a Directory basis, if not by hostname. Am I on the right track here?
