Hi Andrew,

Personally, I would add another file that configures the SSL enabled 
site using a VirtualHost directive.  Something along the lines of:

Port *:443

<VirtualHost myhost.com:443>
    SSLEnable On
    DocumentRoot /var/www/mysecuresite
    ...
</VirtualHost>

That is all from memory so the names might not be correct.

BTW, the fragmented configuration eases configuration of apache 
enormously as each seperate virtual hosted site can be in a seperate 
file.  Much easier to manage! :-)

Thanks
Mark
