[SATLUG] changed ip now https won't work

[Travis Miller]

Hello all,

I have changed IP's using mod_ssl w/ apache with certs from Thawte and 
InstantSSL no problem.  One thing that did give me some problems once was 
changing the IP and forgetting to change the reverse DNS zone.  Might want to 
check that out.
