Perhaps I wasn't very clear, here's the deal. If you are getting
"unknown host" when you attempt to go to the secure site, it's likely
because DNS couldn't match the URL to an IP address. If your browser
doesn't know where to go, it doesn't matter whether your virtual host is set
up correctly or not.
The quick tests are either "nslookup secure.mydomain.com" or "dig
@my.dns_server.com secure.mydomain.com". If you get "unknown host" replies
to those, you need to fix DNS. I tried both of these (assuming
"secure.iowaoutdorrs.com" to be the URL in question) and got what I expected
based on your problem description. nslookup reports "Non-existent
host/domain", and dig says the same. You need to add an entry for the URL
of your secure site in your nameserver (NS9.WORLDNIC.COM, according to dig)
before you can surf to it.

you shouldn't need one.
To be more specific:
I have iowaoutdoors.org and tonybibbs.com registered
to my box.
with tonybibbs.com I did nothing special with the DNS
Zone entry.
I then from within httpd.conf created two virtual
hosts:
mp3.tonybibbs.com and downloads.tonybibbs.com
Those worked (not working now...I took them out
temporarily)
Theoretically I should be able to do the same with
iowaoutdoors.org but creating a
secure.iowaoutdoors.org virtual host doesn't work.
Assuming that is an easy fix then I still have the
problem of why SSL isn't quite working.
Does that clear things up?
