Currently there is no way.. (-;

Reason:-
You need two different  elements in server.xml, each binding to a separate IP address. That also means that your machine needs to have two IP addresses configured. The SSL handshake occurs before the HTTP headers are sent, so you can't switch SSL certificates based upon the hostname the client is using to connect (because it hasn't been sent yet).

Still there is a way: Refer RFC#3546 [its not implemented by all], the concept called "Server Name Indication"
