Hi Todd,

this is the answer of your question in the netcast:

"Because SharePoint Server 2010 uses the public URL in the Default zone of the Web application to determine whether host-named site collections will be rendered as HTTP or SSL, you can now use host-named site collections with off-box SSL termination. There are 3 requirements to use SSL termination with host-named site collections:
The public URL in the Default zone of the Web application must be an HTTPS-based URL.
The SSL terminator or reverse proxy must preserve the original HTTP host header from the client.
If the client SSL request is sent to the default SSL port (443), then the SSL terminator or reverse proxy must forward the decrypted HTTP request to the front-end Web server on the default HTTP port (80). If the client SSL request is sent to a non-default SSL port, then the SSL terminator or reverse proxy must forward the decrypted HTTP request to the front-end Web server on the same non-default port.
To use host-named site collections with off-box SSL termination, configure your Web application as you normally would for SSL termination and ensure that it meets the requirements described above. In this scenario, SharePoint Server 2010 will render links of its host-named site collections in that Web application using HTTPS instead HTTP."

Todd,

and here how to do it in SP2013:

"To achieve off-box SSL termination with host-named site collections, the device that terminates the SSL connection, such as a reverse proxy server, must be capable of generating a custom HTTP header. This is the same custom header that Outlook Web Access (OWA) uses: Front-End-Https: On/Off. For information about how to configure this custom header with ISA Server, see Secure OWA Publishing Behind ISA Server May Require Custom HTTP Header."

Thanks Todd for the answer on the cost of the SQL alias! My company's wallet thanks you! :)

I'm not getting a clickable link on this item in the links list.

This is part of my new revenue generating plan. I'll leave off one link each Netcast until someone sends $5 to my Paypal account.

Or I screwed up the link. :)

It's one or the other.
