Not possible with named Virtual Hosts (one IP, many sites). The SSL
session is initiated before the Host: header (determining which
VirtualHost to use) is sent. Hence only a single SSL certificate can
be used with named Virtual Hosts.

You should be able to set up multiple SSL certs if doing IP-based
virtual hosts. (Depending which IP is connected to, a different
certificate is presented).

The only exception to this is if you have a wildcard cert and all
your virtual hosts are in the same domain covered by the cert - then
name-based hosts are fine because the same cert would be presented
anyway.
