There's only one "real" way to do this without each virtual site customer 
getting a warning each time they  enter the site:

secure.yoursite.com/theirsite1
secure.yoursite.com/theirsite2

Both Verisign and Thawte will tell you this is a violation of their 
license.  However, they'll also tell you (under duress, but they will) that 
everyone does it.

So, yoursite.com gets the stand-alone IP# and the certificate.  The rest is 
all subdirectories.

Theirsite1.com and theirsite2.com, etc., can have name-based 
hosting.  Secure.yoursite.com needs its own IP#.
