Virtual Hosts and SSL

["Steve Swift" <steve.j.swift@xxxxxxxxx>]

Where should I go to learn about configuring Virtual Hosts and SSL in the same apache?

I have virtual hosts woking using "NameVirtualHost *:80"
SSL works for the Virtual Hosts *I* have defined

But in the (default) 
ssl.conf file installed with apache I find:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
... (other, less interesting lines)
</VirtualHost>                                  

What puzzles me is this:
The VirtualHost definition above seems to be working as SSL is finding the Certificate File (otherwise how would SSL work at all?)
How is this VirtualHost definition working in conjunction with "NameVirtualHost *:80" ?
