There shouldn't be a problem, as long as nobody ever tries to do 
https://www.myotherdomain.com/ - if they do, and port 443 is open with 
an SSL cert for www.mydomain.com as opposed to www.myotherdomain.com, 
confusing errors will result.

It's probably safest to use a separate external IP, and separarte 
interal port for the non-clustered non-SSL sites, that way it's easy to 
keep things sane...  eg:

www.mydomain.com -> IP address 20.0.0.1
www.myotherdomain.com -> IP address 20.0.0.2

server1.internal -> 10.0.0.1
server2.internal -> 10.0.0.2
server3.internal -> 10.0.0.3

On your load-balancer, you perform the following mappings:

	20.0.0.1:80 -> 10.0.0.1:80, 10.0.0.2:80, 10.0.0.3:80
	20.0.0.1:443 -> 10.0.0.1:443, 10.0.0.2:443, 10.0.0.3:80

	20.0.0.2:80 -> 10.0.0.1:9000

Run your myotherdomain.com sites, and other name virtual sites on port 
9000 on server1.
Associate the SSL certificate for www.mydomain.com with port 443 on 
server{1..3}, and run the SSL site on this port.
Run the non-SSL site for www.mydomain.com on port 80 of server{1..3}.
