I have a question regarding SSL certs and multiple subdomains with WSS.

I have different VSs setup using host headers xxx.domainname.com where
xxx is the subdomain name.
They are using the default IP and now I am thinking of buying different SSL
certs for each site.
I have just read a section of a book that warns SSL and Host headers don't
mix. The book suggests that if I am going to host multiple ssl sites on the
same box to use multiple IP addresses, which I was told is a problem for
WSS.

Is this a non-issue with WSS? Has anyone done this yet?

I appreciate you coming back and telling us - saves someone a lot of
