Question: Why is it that there can be only 1 SSL per IP Address? Is this because there are no host headers in SSL and thus, only one server can listen on that IP at port 443 at a time?

I assume if I change the IP address of the SSL - then in theory I could do hundreds of SSLs on one server? (this is hypothetical – I’m not actually looking to do this – but using it to better understand how SSL works.)
