I have a question here about SSL cert.
I would like to get a cert for http://secure.yourdomain.net
When I apply to Thawte do I tell the the common name is
secure.yourdomain.net? Then how do I set up the dns on the Raq3 to make this work?

Yes.

It's not a dns issue. You would setup the dns entry just like you would with any other domain. You first have to get the cert. Make the following entries in httpd.conf:

<IfDefine SSL>
Listen 80
Listen 443
</IfDefine>

And then add something similar to your virtual host entry for secure.yourdomain.net:

<IfDefine SSL>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /var/ssl/certs/secure.webfors.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/ssl/private/secure.webfors.com.key
SSLCACertificateFile /var/ssl/certs/equifaxCA.crt
</IfDefine>

The entries can differ slightly depending on where you save your cert. For example I have saved my cert and key in /var/ssl/certs and /var/ssl/private respectively.

This is by no means a complete tutorial, but it should give you an idea of what you have to do. :)
