[users@httpd] Problems changing IP address

[cn...@nycap.rr.com]

I need to be able to change my server's IP address on the fly (not constantly, but from time to time I want to change the IP address without rebooting.  Because I'm using my IP address as ServerName in httpd.conf, I need to restart httpd (gracefully, or not) but half the time, apachectl _says_ it's restarting httpd but I end up with no httpd running.

Let's say I start at 10.94.0.1 and change my IP address to 192.168.0.1.  apachectl reports:

  /usr/apache/bin/apachectl restart: httpd restarted

but `ps` finds no httpd proceeses.  My error_log says:

  [Mon Jun 21 12:45:06 2004] [error] mod_ssl: Init: (192.168.0.1:443) You have to perform a *full* server restart when you added or removed a certificate and/or key file

1) I _did_ a full restart

2) Why does the IP address affect mod_ssl?

3) Where'd my httpd go?

TIA.
