Maybe I misread your post, but a domain must resolve to an IP. If the
DNS points to the IP in the reserved space 192.168.xx.xx it won't work.

I would recommend you get some more IPs, or collocate the server for
your hosting as you will need a unique IP for each secure site, unless
you work with the wildcard cert and sub-domains as mentioned in previous
posts in another thread. I don't know what kind of bandwidth you're
paying for, but I found that it's impossible to get a big enough pipe
for as cheap per month as I can lease a RaQ.
