RE: SSL CodeRed et al

I have seen cases where nimba could crash non-IIS servers because the server couldn't handle some of the strange URL's 
correctly and started using up resources. When Nimba first came out we had a middle tier java based server that 
crashing (every 1-2 hours) until we tracked it down to Nimba. Our solution was to have the traffic to that server go 
through an Apache server that was doing URL filtering and then ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse. We also notified the 
manufacturer of the S/W about the problem, but no fix from them yet.

Sorry for the dumb question, and I think I already know the 
answer, but:

Has anyone heard of a CodeRed or Nimda variant attacking on 
port 443 (SSL)?

The reason I'm asking, is that we have a web-based interface to an
application that runs its own internal web server (not IIS), 
and the service
keeps dying.  The developer is claiming that the problem is 
CodeRed or Nimda
attacking on the SSL port.

We're about to tell them that they're fll of $hlt, but I 
wante dto run it by
you guys first...
