not apache, but I really don't expect that to be a problem. I should have mentioned that wild cards are not an option. I need to support multiple names with absolutely nothing in common. It's sorta like
www.mynethost.com www.gotch.net www.somewhere.else.org
you get the idea.
If you can use a single cert for these (ie owned by the same entity) you could in principle use SubjectAltNames in a single cert to cover these and use that same cert on each site - no wildcard is then required...
If you need to use different certs (ownership reasons and so on) then SNI will work on a single IP - but just be aware of the limitations (all the WinXP clients for example) ... especially if these are public sites.
