Thats a pretty cool trick with the AliasMatch, but a couple
of issues:

I already did a similar trick for all the sites I'm sharing
this certificate with by
ln -s home/sites/ssl /home/sites/siteX/ssl
So I'm okay with that, BUT, I built this apache myself,
running seperately from the Cobalt one cause I wasn't sure I
would be able to get PHP4 on the Cobalt httpd without days
of repairing whatever I messed up.

I'm looking for a way a user can type
https://UNsecuredsite/ssl and get
https://securedsite/ssl/their_folder
