AFAIK modssl does *not* compare the cert with the DN. Only the browser does
that.
And if both DN point to the same IP address, how can modssl, or any server,
know what DN the client used?
modssl returns the cert as specified in httpd.conf, under a VirtualHost
section. And that respective VirtualHost can only be calculated by the
destination IP address (the one the client's is connecting to).
So, you'll either need to use different IP addresses for each DN, or,
in your non-ssl site and https urls, point to just one address.
