use ssl only on certain directories

[Romeo Theriault]

But do I need to setup a completely different virtual host for every  
set of directories that I want to secure with ssl.
If yes, then do the virtual hosts  need to all have different names?

I would like to have one virtual host (eg. www.example.com) and  
specify within that Virtual Host section that I want directory  
"forms" and directory "apply" secured with ssl.
