Well yes, and you will not use 'secure', you will just
re-use the name www.ihro.in (or ihro.in if you use serverAliasDefault).

The domtool thing maps pretty well onto Apache. So if you know that
Apache definition for a vhost on port 80 does not clash with a 
vhost on 443 (ssl), that is - that you can re-define names such 
as www.ihro.in, then you're set.

Let me know if you need more help besides this clarification.
