i'm trying to set up a multi-tenant web application across multiple servers and would like to provide ssl for those tenants

i know this is possible to dynamically assign ssl using mod_rewrite, but i'm worried about speed.

Does apache cache the ssl cert file(s) when using mod_rewrite, or does apache lookup the ssl file every handshake / session?

I guess i'm curious how ssl cert files work and if using mod_rewrite is a worthy approach if connection speed is important.

Thanks in advance.

The browser asks for the SSL certificate only at the handshake (once).
