Folks,

I just stumbled across SNI. As far as I'm aware it's support by Firefox 
and in IE7 under Vista but not XP.

Anyway it allows you to have several different NameVirtualHosts which 
are SSL VirtualHosts. I really like the way it allows you to serve 
content from several different DocumentRoots with different SSL certs.

I don't think mod_ssl support's it just yet but I changed over to 
mod_gnutls under Ubuntu 9.04 and it works fine.
