virtual hosts, DNS and more




Hi,

Today I completed the installation of a Thawte certificate in Apache SSL.
(thanx Adam for letting me know that this other error was a bug in the patch)

I am using SSLeay 0.9.0 and Apache 1.2.6 with 1.16 patches.
It's all working fine with the root host, but I cannot get the
virtual hosts working. The browser kind of hangs and times out
after 2 minutes or so.

I tried several differenct configuration which were on this mailinglist
before, but it didn't do much help. According to this, I've got the 
following questions.

1. For virtual hosting I use IP's instead of names. 
1a. Do the ip's require reverse DNS deligation or does it work with

<VirtualHost 192.32.22.5:443>
ServerName lily.dt.net
..
..
</VirtualHost>

1b. Do I need to set any other parameters in the httpd.conf
to make virtual IP hosting work? What about the variable
# BindAddress * 
Does that one needs to be on?

2. In the INSTALL notes of Apache-SSL there is assumed that
you have empty srm.conf and access.conf files. Is that ok?

3. Does somebody have a working httpd.conf for usage
with NO root server and one or more secure hosts?

Thanks for your reply. I'm learning every day :-)
