What steps must be done to setup the virtual ip required for ssl? Do I need to acquire an additional dedicated ip from my host or is there another ip I may use?
And, yes you need an IP address for every SSL-enabled virtual server. It needs to be a real, routable, IP address--it cannot be a private IP address (unless a public routable IP address is being forwarded to it--but you still need one public IP dedicated to each SSL virtual server, even if you're also using a private IP for each one).

No. When it becomes a standard feature of some of the systems we support (like when it goes into OpenSSL and the standard Apache mod_ssl), Webmin will be updated to include support for it.

How does this work for subdomains? If I purchase a wildcard ssl, do I just point all the subdomains to the same ip address?
