Well, this needs one more detail: You can serve as many 
NameVirtualHosts off of a single IP port 443 - but due to the way SSL 
negotiation works you can only serve a single SSL certificate over that 
IP. So if you want to use separate certificates for each SSL-enabled 
host then you need different IPs. Unless you don't care about constant 
browser popups informing you that the hostname on the certificate does 
not match the host you're connecting to...
