Why go that route. Many Proxies do not allow :81 :82 etc... It would
suck. How many instances would that force you to run anyway. Many.
Almost be easier to just say SSL == Separate virtual/real machine, and
that would suck as well.

But, on the flip-side, most companies/people wanting SSL typically want
their own machine to keep the info "safe" from other prying eyes.
