Are you talking host headers? Those aren't supported with SSL. You need to
use different port numbers or different IP addresses if you want to host
multiple web sites / domains using SSL on one web server. e.g.
https://www.yourseconddomain.com:444 or have www.yourseconddomain.com
resolve to a different IP address, but both IP addresses are bound to the
TCP/IP stack for your network interface [multiple NIC cards are not
necessary].

And if you do this, it may be helpful to use host headers on two non-SSL
sites that contain redirect scripts that redirect users from the non-SSL
site to the appropriate SSL site so they don't need to remember to type in
https://www.yourseconddomain.com:444 Redirect scripts are possibly using
META REFRESH in HTML, Response.Redirect in .ASP, etc. Additional examples
are in www.google.com and www.iisfaq.com
