All the files within conf.d need to have the file naming convention 
hence requesting for ssl.conf

I am not sure, what do you mean by 'common'.  Since, we don't know what 
the actual host name is going to be at the customer end, this could be 
simply commented out and customer can enable it.  Please note 
'ServerName' is not a required value. Setting 'ServerName' to loop back 
IP address is definitely not the right thing to do.
