So...
I have an IP... that IP points to a router, that router port-forwards ports 80 and 443 blindly to a web server, on that web server is a bunch of websites. IIS knows which ones to serve to clients based on a) the host-header, and b) the port.
jaruzel.com:443 is not valid, but because I run an older version of IIS[1], that does not support SNI, the cert is bound to the port, not the host-header. As such any domain name that points to the IP will dump you at that cert if you try to connect on port 443.
Hope this clears up any confusion. :)
