 My understanding is that you can't do this (we're using a Verisign
 certificate).  Each certificate is associated with an IP address so
 if you use name based virtual hosting you can have only one of your
 virtual sites use the certificate.
 
 There have been postings on this list on work-arounds, but I think
 all of them violate the certificate's license agreement terms.
 
 I hope this helps.
