You will probably have similar issues with IP-based virtual hosting: if
the CN in the SSL cert doesn't match the hostname (or IP address) in the
location bar of the browser, you're going to get a warning OR error on
the browser side.

You can bind <Connector> elements to a specific IP address using the
"address" attribute. You can nest <Connector> elements within an
<Engine> element, like this:

   <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="ren">
    <Connector address="127.0.0.9"  [ssl options] />
    <Host name="ren" appBase="renapps"/>
   </Engine>

   <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="ren">
    <Connector address="127.0.0.10"  [ssl options] />
    <Host name="stimpy" appBase="stimpyapps"/>
   </Engine>

This should allow you to have different SSL certs for each "site"
(represented by each <Host> element).
