Apache SSL not working

[Bill Habermaas]

Interesting results.  Netstat says apache is listening on 443.  If i telnet 
using 127.0.0.1 from the same machine it connects.  If I telnet from another 
machine behind the same firewall it fails with connection refused.  The 
other machine is freebsd with Apache SSL and it can be accessed via HTTPS 
from outside the firewall with no problem. So it looks like Apache is 
binding 443 to the local address, I didn't tell it to do that.
