Dear David and list,

It seems to me that every hosted DN would need to have its own CERT.  Sure,
the server could have just one CERT, with all of your DNS users sharing it,
but then the identity being confirmed would be that of the ISP.  What good
would that do for me as a purchaser, to access the Encrypted Key of the ISP
if the company with whom I am transacting business is simply one of their
hosted Domain Names?

If there is a way around having to purchase one CERT per Domain Name, I
would like to discover it. However, if I am understanding this correctly,
multiple domains can share one IP (which is how I host most domains), but I
never did understand the use of Name-Based VH's.

In what context are Name-Based VH's of value?  From what Jeff states,
obviously not on SSL.
