If you have to live with it, can you just redirect?

for example: http://fred.flintsone.com redirects to 
		https://secure.bedrock.com/fred/

and  http://barney/rubble.com redirects to 
		https://secure.bedrock.com/barney/

all being the same real host.

The problem that I can forsee is that what does the certificate have for a host
name.

Maybe it would be better:

		http://fred.flintsone.com redirects to
                 https://secure.flinstone.com:4443/

		http://barney/rubble.com redirects to
                 https://secure.rubble.com:4444/

being two seperate apache servers on the same host.
