I’m just learning how ProFTPd does SNI and was hoping I could just do:

TLSRSACertificateFile /var/ssl/%{env:TLS_SERVER_NAME}/combined

(… given that my server’s SSL certs are in such a filesystem structure)

This is how Exim’s SNI support works, and it’s beautiful. :)

mod_tls, though, doesn’t seem to parse such environment variables?

On a server that hosts thousands of domains, I’d really rather not have to create a separate FTP vhost for each domain that maintains TLS on the machine … but it looks like that’s how ProFTPd expects me to do it?
