The SSL with a dedicated IP is the 'supposed' way of how to SSL should be work, If you are using Apache as web server you can use the SNI with GnuTLS... last week I had to setup a 3 sites on same server with https, and its working fine so far.
On Nginx you can recompile with SNI support, but I did not find GnuTLS for them, the problem of using only SNI is that some old O.S/Browsers doesn't provide SNI support. I hope it helps you. - - iarlyy selbir :wq!
