Yes, SSL sites needs to be on different IP addressess. In short, the SSL
starts before the virtual hosting, which means the server doesn't know which
SSL certificate to use until after it's brought up the SSL connection,
consequently the only way to tell them apart is to put each site on a
different IP address.
