You need a separate IP for each SSL virtualhost, since SSL certificates are exchanged before any HTTP headers (especially the Host: header) are transferred. So my guess is that apache just picks the first SSL certificate applicable for a given IP. In other words, it makes no sense to use NameVirtualHost for SSL / port 443. I don't think your *:80 stuff makes any difference either way as that sould be independent of anything on :443. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
