Hi Dirk,

Yes, only one site per IP can have SSL. But you could still run several
other non-SSL enabled sites on that same IP as well.

That might help a little, yes.

That's an option. I'll need to keep the ability in to do a rollback of
the config, which isn't that complicated. Because if someone edits the
Varnish config and makes a mistake, then Varnish won't start when you
reload the new config. Which also works as a syntax verification: If the
GUI realizes that Varnish won't restart after a config file
modification, then the new config is faulty. Which should trigger a
rollback to the last good version and prompts the user to try his
modification again.
