Concerning question 1 - For Some reason (it makes no sense to me), When I
apply SSL required to just my VDir, It still allows me to enter the site via
http OR https. However, when I apply SSL required to the parent of the VDir
(the Default Web Site), then it works as expected and gives me a SSL
required error. What is that about???
