Only make sure that when you reboot your box..

Your 1'st service only accepts connections on <ip1>:443 and that your
2'nd service only accepts connections on <ip2>:443

Otherwise when you reboot you might run into the situation where you
start service #1 that that will accept connections on both IP's and that
when you start service #2 <ip2>:443 already is occupied...

It unfortunately depends on application/OS how you avoid this..;-)
