[cobalt-users] SSL Questions

[Tobe Johnson <tobe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a RaQ2 dedicated box for my site which uses name based addressing. 
 Currently, I only have *my* web site running on it, so have an IP address 
for *each* site (2 IP address' for primary and secondary DNS, 2 IP address 
for my sites).  However, at some point in the future, I may include hosting 
of additional web sites.  I am using PHP3.x and MySQL quite extensively for 
my existing site.  Now I need to also add SSL.  I have been reviewing the 
docs and mail list archieves and wanted to ask a couple questions to verify 
that I won't have any problems doing this.

1)  I understand that I need to buy the SSL upgrade from Cobalt and install 
it to my machine.  No problem.

2)  Will I have any problems using continuing to use PHP in conjuction with 
SSL?

3)  With name based addressing, I understand that I can't run SSL on the 
strictly name based sites, however, I assume that SSL *will* work on the 
FIRST site that I use for name based hosting (because the first site will 
have an IP address associated with it)?

4)  I currently own a versign certificate as my site has been on a 
different server and I am currently migrating it to the Cobalt.  Does that 
mean that I will have to get a new Thawte certificate or can I continue to 
use the Verisign Cert? From reading the docs, I got the impression that the 
RaQ2's did not work with Verisign.

Thanks for your help.
