Dedicated IP and SSL

[suklee]

I've got 2 dedicated IPs, one of them is the webserver/ primary NS and the 2nd IP is the secondary NS. Can I use these 2 IP addresses to host 2 different SSL websites/certificates?

Yes.

There is also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

Yes.

Thanks for the link.. so I wouldn't need to purchase 2 additional addresses? That's what someone else is telling me. Could the server set up have anything to do with it?

No. You just need as many dedicated IPs as you have SSL sites. Non-SSL sites can piggyback off those IPs.

(While SNI would remove this requirement, the problem is that its support still isn't wide enough--you'll be losing out on Windows XP users, for example. It'll get there, eventually.)
