I asked very much the same question a few weeks ago, and ended up
going with the two-independent-servers approach because somebody on
this list indicated it was simpler to set up. I have no experience
with mod-ssl whatsoever, but I *did* find that adding an independent
apache-ssl server worked pretty nearly "straight out of the box".
I guess the main drawback of this method would be increased resource
overhead.
