Maybe you won't need to make host headers work because of
the SSL issue you create while attempting to do so . . .
About Certificates:
1. You cannot use SSL and Host Headers together because
the header is still encrypted at the point it needs to be
read. ( I found a technet article on this a year ago when
I needed 4 SSL sites on an application server I was
setting up )
2. If you need multiple sites with SSL on one or both, you
need multiple public IP's . . .eliminating the need for
host headers.
3. SSL certificates have to be acquired with the exact URL
of the site imbedded in them, so one certificate can only
be used for one site.
4. Its pretty easy to export / import the certificates
with the "certificates" snap-in. When looking for the
certificate on the Windows 2000 computer, when adding the
snapin, first try looking under "user" / "personal" while
logged in with the admin account that would have installed
the certificate in the first place.
