Despite common quotations to the contrary, you /can/ successfully use
Name-based Virtual Hosts with SSL. The caveat is that you have to use
the same certificate and all the same SSL settings for all the virtual
hosts, but that seems to be exactly what you're asking for. The first
vhost that Apache finds for SSL will be used for configuring the SSL
aspects, but beyond that, it will do further processing with the
correct vhost as long as you have them listening on SSL port.

I think that's all there is to it. I know I have it working on my
server: if you're having trouble, I can reference my config files for
you, but I won't get a change to till tomorrow night (Eastern Time).

Hope that helps,
