I would also point you to 

  http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/mass.html

for more info on the apache side, particularly this bit:

 The main disadvantage is that you cannot have a different log 
 file for each virtual host; however if you have very many virtual 
 hosts then doing this is dubious anyway because it eats file
 descriptors. It is better to log to a pipe or a fifo and arrange 
 for the process at the other end to distribute the logs to the 
 customers (it can also accumulate statistics, etc.).

mod_rewrite is your friend.  You just make a Rule that redirects
anyone accessing your site on port 80 to port 443, something like
this:

<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123>
  ServerName www.foobar.com
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^/(.*)	https://www.foobar.com/
</VirtualHost>
