mod_ssl or apache-ssl? how to setup?

Hello,

I have RH7.1, with Apache/1.3.22 with mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6 compiled into.

I use name based virtual hosting, pls let me know how can i enable SSL for a domain without a separate IP address?

Presently all domains i have setup in my httpd.conf can be accessed with with "https" prefix and it opens up the apache test page. I presume i just need to specify a virtual host block for the domain i want to enable ssl for, correct me if am wrong.

Also, how is mod_ssl different from apache-ssl?
Do i need to setup apache-ssl as well? Which one do i need?

Also, i understand when a customer asks for SSL support i will just setup the virtualhost block inside apache and his domain
can be accessed with https pointing to some folder.
But what do i need to do when a customer asks for a SSL certificate?

Thanks,
Viv
