Yeah, I looked at it when you posted it and put it onto my long "to do"
list. It will make it into BlueOnyx, but there are currently a few more
pressing matters in the pipe. In any case: Thank you for this useful
suggestion!

I looked into that some time ago. Yes, it would allow us to run various
SSL enabled sites on the same IP. Whereas now you need to put SSL
enabled sites onto different IPs.

I haven't yet investigated if the OpenSSL and Apache versions on the
various OS's that BlueOnyx supports will support that as well. Even if
they do, the SSL GUI integration is a complex piece of code and this
would require a lot of tinkering in various places. I'll eventually look
into this to see if it's feasible and practicable.
