OT (slightly): SSL Requirement

I don't necessarily believe everything I see, and would like to check on 
something I read.

Is the following statement true or false?

"SSL requires a distinct outbound IP for every distinct certificate
(different domain name)."

My understanding is that multiple hosts with distinct certificates could 
coexist behind a NAT'd firewall on a single public address and still 
provide SSL connections via the public address.

Would someone who's more knowledgeable than I about this care to shed 
some light on the subject?
