Thanks for working through this with me Chuck. Sorry for the frustration. Probably should have started MY inquiry off as a new thread.
Now that I got how useIPVhosts works (probably), did you see any drawbacks to setting up multiple <Services> to achieve what the original poster was going for, i.e. multiple hosts with unique SSL certificates? (other than the obvious amount of typing involved) I'm thinking technical & performance issues. I can see the usefulness of using useIPVHosts instead of multiple services if one is using SSL. Only one port 80 connector to handle the non-SSL traffic. For an "everything SSL" setup, that's a benefit for the initial non-SSL connection that gets redirected to SSL. In fact, I'd say the only real need for it is when you are doing SSL and can't use a wildcard-SSL cert, e.g. www.example1.com, www.example2.com, etc. Just have to remember that hostnames in the server.xml are primarily for documentation, and you really need an <Alias> for the IP address.
