[ILUG] ssl and virtual hosts problem

[Andy Morrow]

i think im going to run into a problem here because the machine doesnt have
2 ip's(internal and external)
the external is only nat'd at the firewall, so any traffic for the external
gets nat'd onto the internal and then when it's checked, i presume it just
sees the internal ip??
