I have a server that has SSL (Secure Socket Layers)  For a web site
to have its own SSL the server requires the domain name or site
to have its own IP #, which is how SSL works.  What about sites
that have SSL and need their own IP #?

I am a budget web host, a majority of my sites are all named
based.  However I have sites that have thier own SSL and need
their own IP #.  

How is ARIN going to handle this?  

Is it being addressed?
