+[[!meta  title="Name-Based Virtual Hosts with SSL/TLS on Apache"]]
+
+Despite [some Apache comments to the contrary][contrary], it *is*
+possible to use Apache to host several SSL/TLS hosts on the same
+IP/port combination.  The key is [Server Name Indication][SNI] (SNI),
+in which the client indicates the host name with which it wants to
+connect explicitly.  The details for implementing SNI-support, see the
+[Apache Wiki][apache-wiki] and the [Gentoo wiki][gentoo-wiki].
