I am trying SelfSSL.exe to assign a certificate to my hostX.domain.com
public DNS address and it is failing.

This site has an address of hostX.domain.com that is accessible from the
Internet - using http://hostx.domain.com (this is accessible / woks), but
when I use httpS://hostx.domain.com (this fails) it fails.

Now, when I access the site internally using http://hostx and httpS://hostx
it WORKS!

So the question is, I know SSL works internally but why does it not work
externally?
