Tim,

I've just read your posts on this thread and hope I'm answering properly
for you...

The easiest way to do this is to create a new site on your RaQ, called
"secure.mydomain.com", with it's own complete root directory path, etc.

If you need both secure.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com, then the easy
way to do this is to (if you're using a RaQ4) set up a web alias of
secure.mydomain.com.

Either way you'll need to have an A record for secure.mydomain.com
hosted by whoever hosts DNS for your RaQ.

You'll also need to install the Secure Cert for the site if you haven't
already done so.

You'll also need to assure that all calls to secure.mydomain.com will be
as "https" and not as "http"; you can search the list archives for info
on how to do it.

Jeff
