Yeah, I've scratched my head on that issue before. Eventually I gave up after reading the mod_ssl docs: http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#vhosts The most common way to do it is to use IP aliasing to assign multiple IPs to your server, once for each SSL vhost. I just did a search through the apache-modssl mailing list, and you can actually do multiple unique SSL name-based vhosts on the same IP, _if_ use use separate ports for each. That might be acceptable as well... ie domain1.com is accessed via https://domain1.com:1000, domain2.com is https://domain2.com:1001, etc. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modssl&w=2&r=1&s=ssl+virtual+host+name+based&q=b -- Regards, Wim Kerkhoff, Software Engineer Merilus, Inc. -|- http://www.merilus.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
