Note the line near the top that says "Name-based virtual hosting
cannot be used with SSL secure servers because of the nature of the
SSL protocol." And also
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts

The first just says you can't. the second provides a more detailed
reason. The way I gave you is really the only way to accomplish what
you're doing with mod_ssl etc.
