Hi,

you can not use SSL with virtual hosting, see 
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC47

You'll have to get a dedicated ip for every single ssl host. You could 
play around with one ssl proxy on your single ip with a common name 
and do some rewriting according to an url praefix matching the secure 
parts of your backend virtual hosts; decide yourself if this config 
work is worth it.
