Mass virtual hosting

I'm using Apache as a proxy for Zope.
For each Zope-site I have a file which I include in the httpd.conf
The Zope sites may be accessed via https on the subdomain config.domain.net.

My problem is the I cannot do namebased virtualhosting since this is in conflict with the nature of SSL.

So I tried to see if mod_rewrite was my friend.

Problem with that solution is that SSLEngine is always On, so any http requests result in a mod_ssl:error:HTTP-request.

Is my only chance ifconfig? Or is there a solution to this tailbiting problem?

ServerName www.tekk.dk
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /var/zope-sites/Tekk/static
CustomLog /var/zope-sites/Tekk/logs/access_log combined
#RedirectMatch (.*)/manage$ https://config.tekk.dk/Tekk$1/manage

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/images/ - [L]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tekk.dk$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/www.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^config.tekk.dk$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://config.tekk.dk/manage [R,L]

SSLEngine ON
SSLCertificateFile /var/zope-sites/Tekk/conf/ssl/server.pub

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

First off start here and see how mod_rewrite works for setting up a reverse proxy vhost site.

Why so? Just put everything within the following blocks for HTTPS:

>> RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$

Matching a port 80 condition is almost never needed.

>> RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tekk.dk$

You need to escape the dots.
