[pubcookie-users] Pubcookie virtual host support

I am in the process of migrating two Apache virtual servers 
(test/development servers) onto a new box.  Previously, just one of 
these was pubcookie protected, but it occurred to me that since I have 
unique IPs for each virtual server now, I could pubcookie both of them 
(which would be desirable).   These will now run under Pubcookie 3.2 + 
Apache 2.

How to pubcookie multiple virtual hosts has come up before.  This thread 
from January 2003:

   
http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/pipermail/pubcookie-users/2003-January/000037.html

Concluded with:

"I got it working now. I think keyclient generates
a DES keyfile with a filename (and maybe some "salt") extracted from the
certificate that is configured in the pubcookie config. Seems as if this
keyfile must be the "master", which has to be copied to the keyfiles
with the names of the other virtual hosts.   Mirko "

Is this still a fair summary of the best approach under 3.2?

Thanks,

Jim
