SSL and subdomains

[ResolutionsNET]

Hi,

I have a web server setup to accept subdomains
i.e. mail.123.com as a virtual server (intercepting host headers.

My main site

http://www.123.com

has SSL (port 443) is it possible to get mail.123.com to use SSL (i.e.

https://mail.123.com)

with out being intercepted by the

https://www.123.com

usage of port 443.

Help

Cheers

It's ok, I've found out the answer.

If anyone is interested it because, (generally) the host header will be encrypted on a SSL connection, therefore IIS can determine which virtual web site to go to. Hence it generally goes to the first one.

Did you find a way to do this???

Or is your answer that no you can do it... all must use the same host name?

I guess it's OK for me to use the same HOST name for all web sites on my server when they need to direct to a SSL connection... but I'm still trying to figure out how to set up multiple sites on my server.

1. I have only one public static IP address.
2. I have only one NIC connected to this public IP address.
3. This NIC can bind more than one IP address to itself if necessary. Sincerely,
