Well, Chris is almost correct here.  But Connectors are nested as the Service 
level, not at the Engine level. The engine doc he refers you to even specifies 
this at the top of the page.  Here is the way to do it correctly:

<Service name='Service1">
  <Connector address="127.0.0.9" port=80 [options] />
  <Connector address="127.0.0.9" port=443 [options] [ssl options] />
  <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="ren">
    <Host name="ren" appBase="renapps" />
  </Engine>
</Service>

<Service name='Service1">
  <Connector address="127.0.0.10" 80 [options] />
  <Connector address="127.0.0.10" port=443 [options] [ssl options] />
  <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="ren">
    <Host name="stimpy" appBase="stimpyapps" />
  </Engine>
</Service>

Add a properly configured <security-contraint> tag group to your web.xml and 
you can even have http requests automatically re-routed to https.

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).
