The issue is that the server needs to know the hostname given to the browser to find the matching certificate, and the only way to do that and stay on the standard port 443 with the apache version on centos is to bind each virtual host to a different IP address. Per the apache ssl faq at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts2, 2.2.12 or later supports SNI where the browser passes the hostname before the ssl session starts. -- Les Mikesell lesmieksell at gmail.com
