Hi Kevin, Those sites describe a way to put multiple certificates on the same IP address, so they will save you IP addresses, not certificates. The only way I know of to put multiple hosts on the same certificate is to use a wildcard certificate, and make sure all host names match the wildcard.

It looks like a patch is required, so regular Apache could not do this, but a patched Apache could. The docs are for the unpatched Apache. All of these things involve experimental patches, custom compilation, etc. If you're uncomfortable with that, your best bet is probably to wait until this feature makes its way into regular OS distributions. Good luck! ----Scott. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
