Very Computer

Originally, I had about a dozen domains all set up via name based
hosting, and they all work fine. Recently, I needed to add SSL to one
of the domains and later learned you need to have a unique IP to
accomplish this. However, I cant seem to get it to work, and there
doesn't seem to be much info available on this. I updated the DNS
record to point the domain to the new IP, as well as added the NAT to
my router, however, whenever I go to the domain it simply takes me to
the default web directory of the very first virtual host in the list.
When I switched it to the top of the list, it appeared to work, but
then I realized that the original public IP all the name based vh were
using would also default to the same directory.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Here's (most) my setup: (the domain I'm trying to change to IP based
and later add SSL to is the last on the list - www.fourthehardway.com)

Is my logic correct? I'd hate to go screwing things up on a hunch.
Please advise...

Your router must not only accept the second IP address, but it must
pass it ON A DIFFERENT IP ADDRESS through to the internal server.
