You can only resolve on SSL certificate to any given IP/port configuration.

Your apache conf file can be listening to 30 different IP address/port
configurations, and have 30 seperate SSL certificates for each.
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.1:443>
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.1:444>
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.1:445>
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.1:446>
or
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.1:443>
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.2:443>
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.3:443>
	<VirtualHost 123.456.789.4:443>
are all acceptable with the appropriate certificate entries in each container.

You cannot however, have more than 1 SSL certificate for a single IP/Port
configuration.
