Now you've got me on the details <wry grin>; the cert is limited to use
on the IP# and the domain name.  Some certs are also limited by the
physical machine.  And the entire thing is encrypted from beginning to
end; nothing's running over the net in clear-text except the IP# address
of the destination.

You're right, of course.  Sorry about that.
