First of all, you gave an incorrect answer.  If you don't know the
answer, don't guess at pretend it is correct.

Second, this question comes up here (and other places) regularly.  A
simple Google would find the answer in about 10 seconds.  However, some
people are lazy and prefer others to look things up for them.  The RaQ
manual even says that you can't enable SSL for more than one site on an
IP (although it doesn't say why).
