I've got a web server running IIS 5 with multiple sites.
I have given the box an IP address for each of two
different sites. We've installed two certificates, one
for each site. I've read the note 187504 in Microsoft's
knowledge base that says multiple certificates can't be
used because the text address is in the headers and it
can't decrypt them without picking a certificate first.

Clearly, when multiple IP addresses are in use, it would
not be necessary to decrypt the header to find out which
site was referenced, yet it appears the same behavior is
in effect. Do I have to go buy a unix server to get this
functionality, or am I missing something?
