If I specified port 80 for both of our machines in the MulticastStats 
line, one shows up at 80 and one at 443.  Contrary to my prior message 
It looks like I *am* getting backhanded to another server occasionally 
("Backhand removeSelf" didn't seem to do what I thought it would).

When I do get passed to the new server, I get an error..
the url looks like...

     https://dev.mail.umich.edu/mod_ssl%3Aerror%3AHTTP-request

     Not Found
     The requested URL /mod_ssl:error:HTTP-request was not found on this 
server.

I still don't know why if both machines are set to port 80 in the 
MulticastStats line, that one of them insists on listening on 443.  I'm 
open for ideas there..

So... I tried setting both of them to listen on port 443, restart, and 
when I get backhanded, I get:

     Bad Request
     Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

     Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
     Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
     Hint: https://backhand-test1.web.itd.umich.edu:443/

I'm using the copy of backhand from CVS - I checked it out on 3/13/03, 
which appears to have support for SSL acc'd to the change log.  Is 
there something else I have to specify to make SSL work?
