Re[2]: [cobalt-users] Security Help

[Matthew Clark <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Take THIS as gospel.  You _can_ have non-ssl sites on the same IP address as an
SSL site (100% sure).  The reason you can only have one SSL site on each IP address is due
to where the SSL layer sits on the TCP stack. Name information is not carried in
the SSL layer - only the HTTP layer.. SSL is like an additional layer inbetween
application and transport.

Regards,

Matt.
