You can configure SSL perfectly fine per virtual host,
provided that they have separate addresses.  You can
even use SSL for virtual hosts that share an address,
if they listen on different ports (in this case you
can use redirects for convenience, so users don't have
to type the port numbers).

It's correct that SSL doesn't work for pure name-based
virtual hosts (not using "special tricks"), but nobody
was talking about that.

Actually, <ENTER> twice is sufficient.  :-)
