[users@httpd] SSL and name based virtual hosts

I know it's not possible to host more then one ssl
site using name based virtual hosting. I understand
why also, the whole catch-22 thing.

How do people work around this? I only have one IP,
and I know some people simply use alternate port
numbers. Is this the only way to get around this? Have
one site be https://www.site1.com:1, and another be
https://www.site2.com:2, etc.?

Thanks.

I have also only one cert, and my secure sites are only accessable by

https://ssl.mydomain.tld/host1.mydomain.tld/
https://ssl.mydomain.tld/host2.mydomain.tld/
https://ssl.mydomain.tld/anotherdomain.tld/

and so on, that works fine

(ProxyPathReverse for host1.mydomain.tld/ ->
http://host1.mydomain.tld, the other "hosts" are on the same server
so the proxy-transfer is secure)

Another variant on that is to get a wild card cert for *.domain.tld, and 
have:
https://site1.domain.tld/
https://site2.domain.tld/

However, you loose the authentication part of SSL (the visitor can trust the 
site) and only get the encryption.

I bury their SSL site behind my company SSL site. So
www.yourcompany.com is a normal NBVH. The SSL page will be
www.herbstein.com/yourcompany.com
This also saves the folks the $125 or whatever for the SSL
certificate. No one, so far, has wanted to spend the money
for me to blow off another IP address.

Just an idea.
