SSL IP Requirements
I've setup SSL two times now, and it worked out fine both times. The sites were hosted on the same server, and the server had two public IPs. As I understand it, Apache requires SSL enabled virtual hosts to have a dedicated IP address.
Now I'm wondering if it's possible to have one public IP address, and multiple virtual private IPs (eth0:1, eth0:2, etc) with SSL working just fine.
This for example works:
<VirtualHost 67.5.5.5:443>
SSLEngine on
...
</VirtualHost>But will this?
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:443>
SSLEngine on
...
</VirtualHost>I know that works, but if I got a certificate authority to verify, would the browser get a warning?

The certificate doesn't validate the IP address, it validates the domain name, so you should be fine.

Ok. If it doesn't work, you owe me

Haha. That's pretty clever. I need one of those...
