Thanks for getting back to me.
I tried adding the code as you described below but the server seemed to go into a loop and did not open the page.
So what I did instead was I added a NameVirtualHost 192.168.100.25:443 and then in my virtual host conf file added a new virtual host with a redirect permanent for y and z domain to redirect to x domain and it seems to work with no problems.
Thanks again.

Stephen,
To clarify, Apache does /not/ prohibit name based virtual hosting on
any particular port. The issue is that when an SSL connection comes in
(on any port, but the default is 443), it is inherently encrypted so
Apache cannot look inside the HTTP request to see what the value of
the Host header is, which is how it does named based vhosting.
However, that really only effects what vhost is used to handle the
ssl. Once the SSL is decrypted, Apache will re-attempt to figure out
the correct vhost, which can be done using the Host header for
name-based vhosting.
But that doesn't really address your problem. I think your best
solution is to include your other domains as ServerAliases inside you
main SSL vhost, and then use a RewriteCond to redirect requests that
match those hosts. Something like:
#### Apache config file snippet #####
NameVirtualHost 192.168.11.25:443
#Domain X, Y, and Z all in one
<virtualhost 192.168.100.25:443>
###Set up SSL stuff here...
ServerName X
ServerAlias Y Z #Let this vhost be used for name-based vhosting of Y
and Z as well.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^Y/* [OR] #Only apply following rewrite
rule for domain Y...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^Z/* [OR] #... or domain Z
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://X:443/$1 [R=301]
</virtualhost>
I think that should accomplish what you're looking for.
Hope that helps,
-Brian
