Re: Virtual Hosts and SSL

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

Thank you for that answer.  I'm just beginning to use SSL, and at the moment I'm using the self-signed certificate that was installed for my server during the original apache installation.

For my testing I'll need to generate additional certificates/Sever keys for the Virtual Hosts I define in 
ssl.conf

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.
