That's about right... You didn't (mercifully :-) show us your complete config, but I'm guessing you just used ServerAlias directives instead of ServerName. As far as VH resolution is concerned, they are equivalent. You might get problems with redirect and self-referential URLs, however. It is true that if you don't care about browser warnings, or that the session is encrypted using the cert from the first VH only, then name-based VHing under SSL will *seem* to work. It's fine for a test environment but this is no solution for the real world (would you type your credit card number into a website that seemed to be called nice-shop.com but your browser was complaining that the certificate was registered to evil-crook.com?) It is worth emphasising that this "problem" is nothing specific to do with apache; it's a fundamental feature of HTTP/HTTPS.
