Ethernet NICs listen for MAC addresses, not IP addresses. It's up to the router mechanism to which you're connected to forward traffic for all the IP address registered for your MAC address. Promiscuous mode normally refers to listening for all MAC addresses on the LAN segment, not just your own. Given that, I don't see any reason why you can't listen on 0.0.0.0 and get all the traffic for whatever IP addresses you configure your TCP/IP stack for. (Grain of salt: I've only done it with two, and don't remember using any SSL traffic.) I believe you will need a separate certificate for each domain, however, and consequently a separate pair of <Connector> tags for each. If you want independent applications for each domain, you'll probably also need multiple <Host> entries in your configuration. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
