I know now :(. It seems to me that doing something like this would be near 
the top of the feature request list... A lot of small orgs share resources 
like server space etc and being able to "do it on the cheap" via a single 
IP# high on the priority list. Probably something fundamentaly difficult in 
doing so that I'm unaware of :(.

I will look into these TLS upgrades. 

Thanks for your thoughts.
