1.0-tests support "virtual servers", where this is possible:

server foo {
  listen = 1.2.3.4
  ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/foo.cer
}

server bar {
  listen = 1.2.3.5
  ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/bar.cer
}

But it creates separate login processes for each server, so it'd be
nicer if each login process just listened in all interfaces and just
selected the certificate based on what IP the client connected to.
