I have seen that but it is possible to have a secure connection using named
based virtual hosts.  Been doing it for a while, visit
https://mail.palmettodomains.com, just trying to get the name on the
certificate to match.  I was just tring to get a separate certificate for
other sub-domains using different/correlating naming, but it looks like the
certificates have to be named 'server'.key or .crt.
