No, this isn't actually possible. Virtual hosting by name relies on the
web server being able to parse the HTTP header to determine which name
was used to access the site. With SSL, there's no way of doing that (the
SSL connection has to be in place before the HTTP header is sent), so
you have to have IP based virtual hosting.
