Hello Alan,

Good day one and all. I would like to ask some specific SSL questions that I am sure will be easy enough.

SSL has the requirement that only certificate can be loaded per IP address.

With that in mind can nginx handle hosting multiple virtual host SSL sites all listening to on IP's?

And can I accept a "https://myhost.com/" and then load balance (proxy) that internally to normal "http://" backends?

I've only been testing out nginx for about a week. This is my plan as well. So far, I have this working with two IPs (one IP virtual host and the main IP) on a couple of development systems.

Pretty easy once I read the documentation right.

I'm using an rpm for Fedora from the EPEL repository on CentOS 5. This seems to have a few things compiled in -- like SSL support -- that the nginx docs suggest are not the default compile, but which have made life easier.

Take care,

Kurt Hansen
