Hi All,

Here's the question. I want to be able to host multiple SSL sites on my IIS
5.0 server. I've asked around some and searched here and there, but have
only gotten one coherent means of doing this assuming that I don't want to
use different port numbers. The scheme goes like this: Multiple domains
mapped to one public IP that is a router/firewall or DNS server that maps
the domain names to internal IPs (192.168...). I install multiple internal
IPs on my NIC (multihomed) and then specify the different IPs in each
SSL-enabled web site properties box. This requires each of my clients to buy
a cert.

Are there other ways of doing this. I was reading some of the other posts
that mentioned wild-card certs that would allow me to have
client.mydomain.com setups. I assume then that in this latter case, there
would be only one SSL-enabled site that could accept any number of
subdomain.domain.com requests. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance...gg
