If this is a unix system look at multihoming your NIC. This can be done via
multiple ifconfig commands. However, If these are to be a publically
accessible sites then these IP addresses must map through to your external
internet connection. If these are internal addresses, you should probably
get them recorded in your internal dns.

Why all this trouble?
With SSL everything is encrypted. The only way an SSL server can get the
correct certificate is to use the IP address and then use the certificate on
that IP address.

I have one NIC in the system with Static IP address, How do I create
multiple virtual sites, and each site has its own digital certificate.  Can
any one give me an example.  Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you mean. If you mean can you have multiple SSL sites
on a system with a single NIC, the answer is yes, assuming you are
using IP-based virtual hosts (name based will NOT work).
