Multiple certificates per machine

Hi All,
I have two web applications running in two application servers in linux. Both applications are running in secure mode.I have used java's KeyTool command to generate key store.When i try to access the web applications in two tabs of IE7,either one of the web application works.
What could be the reason?
I read somewhere(http://info.ssl.com/article.aspx?id=10076) that we can not have more than one certificates per IP.Certificates are based on machine's IP.Is it true?


Regards,
Surya

That's interesting. I thought certificates were assigned by domain name.
If that article is true, you would need more than one IP address assigned to your machine. A machine can have several, and it probably already does (i.e. external IP, loopback 127.0.0.1, and so on).
