Okay this is extreamly strange but let me give it a shot to the list..

We have two sites (auth.signull.com and store.signull.com) they both have ssl certs for online payment via authorize.net. Now I set up auth.signull.com on the primary interface and store.signull.com on a virtual interface and set up IP based virtual hosting and all goes well, when you go to the IP or the name of either you get to the right page be it SSL or non SSL.

Now, since putting them both up we started having problems when I did this and the problem is very odd. There's a script that sends somebody's credit card information to authorize.net and then that is suppose to check it and send the information back to our server via a POST so that we can generate a page to show the user what happened (if the card was accepted). Now this drove us up a wall because it wasn't working and it was timing out. We got error emails from authorize.net saying that it was a "time out".

We thought the script might be hanging or something but we didn't see anything in the logs about it. After doing a trafshow we started seeing the actual connection so we knew they were connecting. Then we started doing a tcpdump and had them do the transaction via normal http so we could see what was going on. They connected and seem to start some kind of handshaking but the apache server never responds.

Now here's where it gets even stranger. Going to the page via IE, Mozilla, or even just telnetting to port 80 and issuing the POST that way works fine, no issues. Of course authorize.net says that they've been doing this for years and it's not their problem. I turn off the virtual interface and it works flawlessly, turn it back on, same problem.

Anybody have any idea?
