SSL and IP Addresses

[Warren Michelsen <Warren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a number of Virtual Hosts on one IP address. If one of these sites needs 
SSL, should I set that up on a separate IP address or is it OK to have multiple 
VHs on the same IP address as is used by a SSL cert?

The WT docs say... "Named virtual hosts (hosts that share an IP address) must 
share the certificate of the common IP host. By default, Web Ten associates a 
certificate issued to an IP virtual host with all configured named virtual 
hosts that share that IP address."

If one of the named VHs is "secure.domainA.com" and shares the IP address with 
"domainA.com", as well as any number of other VHs, is that a problem?

What does the statement mean by "the" common IP host? Is one VH on an IP 
address considered the common host while others on the same IP address are, 
what... uncommon?

Does the statement above from the docs mean that if domainB.com is on the same 
IP address as the VHost with the SSL cert, that domainB.com will also have SSL 
enabled? Would this result in errors if someone established a https connection 
to domainB.com?

If any other sites need a SSL cert, I need to put them on a separate IP 
address, right? I cannot have multiple certs on one IP address?

Thanks for any clarifications.
