SSL certificate transactions are harder [impossible as far as
I can see from the protocol] (multiple certificates setup is
non-clear in Apache -- the authentication IP to Host reverse
lookup is over by the time the lock wants to close (and thus
before the sub-host specification -- but it _may_ be possible
to finesse this), and this is before the dialog on the server
name is done.);
ftp servers have problems here, for there is no query for
(virtual) remote host name in the dialog within the protocol.
