I handle many domains, many of which are websites located on Tripod or Geocities, and I am just effectively forwarding the name to the current location. I have edited my http.conf to direct the various domain names to various folders in my httdocs folder, where they are then redirected (and set to only show the original address in the bar). My question is, I have a site I am working on that will be a secured site. It is currently on a secured server, but my home PC is not. I need to show my employer a fully functional website before they will release the funds to rent my own server and set it up for SSL. Can I set up my home PC to receive the https://www.domain.com <https://www.domain.com/> and then redirect it to the secured server, without making all of my other domains require the https?

Well, you can generate one signed by yourself using genkey command (crypto-utils package) but the browser will warn the user about the self-signed certificate.
also, Firefox 3 gets nasty about adding a self signed cert.Aparently the Firefox developers hate self signed certs and have made it harder to get one installed into the browser's list. I don't use Firefox, so this is not something I have seen myself, but it was discussed on an article discussion about certificates on CBS Interactive's techrepublic.com
