IP Space

Also understand that we're not talking about multiple sites being:

https://www.enterprise.com/site1/
https://www.enterprise.com/site2/

Such a setup would just require a cert for www.enterprise.com.

The issue occurs with:

https://www.site1.com/
https://www.site2.com/

Which require different certs. The proper certificate information has to be
exchanged BEFORE the Host: header line with the current implementation of
SSL. There is no way to send that Host: line before the certs and therefore
the same certificate is sent to the browser for both sites.

All the best --
Ted
