It depends on how you define "fine"... Your configuration "works" in that https://site1/ and https://site2/ will both lead to the correct site and https will be functional. However, if you look carefully, you will see that both sites are using the same certificate (namely, the cert from the first VH listed in the config - site1).

HTTPS requests to site1 or site2 look identical at the TCP/IP layer (they're just requests to 192.168.1.3:443 with no HTTP attributes accessible). Apache finds the first listening VH (which happens to be site1) and uses the cert from that VH to establish the HTTPS session. Once the session is open, apache can decrypt the HTTP request and so then sees the Host header. From then on, it can route the requests to the appropriate VH so everything *seems* to work.

I notice you are using private IPs (192.168.1.3) so maybe this is a LAN application and you don't really care about authentication. However, in the real world, this is no solution because you're using the wrong cert with site2 so have no authentication (your browser should flash an alert to this effect).

In real-world, commercial internet, authentication is every bit as important as encryption...
