[ic] http running as one daemon | https running as another

[Ron Phipps]

Thanks Beriah,

I'll give it a try this weekend and see how it turns out.  I'm searching
both the OpenSSL and mod_SSL site right now to see what they have to say on
it.  Are you running apache?  Which implementation of SSL are you using?
Take it easy.

-Ron
