Hi Peter,

BTW...the Ip address appeared differently between two posts because 
they were just example IP addresses. Nothing more than that.

As a matter of fact we are sharing the IP address across all the 
domains being hosted on this machine as VirtualHosts. The containers 
for the non-SSL and the SSL appear this way:

<VirtualHost 206.252.132.148>
ServerAdmin webmaster at americanmicroinc.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/americanmicroinc.com/order"
ServerName order.americanmicroinc.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/americanmicroinc.com/order/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

<IfDefine SSL>
<VirtualHost 206.252.132.148:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster at americanmicroinc.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/americanmicroinc.com/order"
ServerName order.americanmicroinc.com
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/americanmicroinc.com/order/cgi-bin/
SSLCipherSuite 
ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/order.americanmicroinc.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/order.americanmicroinc.key
SSLEngine on
SSLVerifyClient none
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log
TransferLog /var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log
</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

in the active apache config file I've got the second container shown 
here commented out since in its current form it doesn't work.
