I have to use SSL anyway, and also, I have to use only one SSL cert for 
all hosts as I only have one IP... (Actually, two, but that doesn't 
really make a difference when you have around 50 clients does it.)
SSL making Apache slower is a good point. Question: does it matter how 
many SSL vhosts I have? I mean, will it make Apache slower to have 
several SSL hosts, even if they are not always used?
In this case I might want to think of a way to determine which clients 
need SSL...
Also, how come stunnel+SSL+Apache use less resources? Would I be able to 
use one SSL cert per vhost if I use stunnel?

Thanks,
lip
