Hi,

OK, I didn't make my point very well actually.  Yes it works even when you 
have multiple ssl hosts on the same IP.  The problem is only one certificate 
is valid, and the browser will put up a message saying something like the 
certificate is valid but not issued for this host.  This is the thing that 
doesn't work that I was talking about.  As for a wildcard certificate, I 
actually haven't heard of one, which of course doesn't say they don't exist.

So, to answer your question, yes, what you have will run, but it doesn't 
really make much sence, especially if you have to provide a commercial 
solution, as I do.

greetings from Austria
Markus
