SSL with Virtual Hosts on Apache in Amazon AWS EC2 environment

Question

I am trying to set up two virtual hosts served over SSL on Apache in Amazon AWS environment.

I understand that SSL cannot use Name Virtual Host on Apache unless: * I bind two IPs to Apache each serving a separate virtual host. Unfortunately, AWS does not allow me to bind more than one public IP to each EC2 machine * or I use SNI (server name identification) which does not work for IE6 or WinXP (all browsers).

Is my understanding correct?

If yes, what are my options on AWS where I cannot bind two IPs and if I want to server my site to WinXP and IE6?

The only thing I can think of setting up two new micro instances with proxy servers each serving each instance and the forwarding to the actual server.

Is there a better option?

Answer 1

I'm using UCC for several sites using one IP.
