Xymon uses OpenSSL, but only the library - not the s_client tool (or any other external tool).

Supporting SNI in the Xymon tests should be a fairly simple change, though. The attached changed to Xymon 4.3.12 should do it - I would appreciate it if you could try it out, since I don't have the necessary test setup to really test it. Just save the attached file, then go to your xymon-4.3.12 directory and run
	cat /tmp/xymon-snisupport.patch | patch -p0 then run "make" and "make install" again.


BTW, s_client does support SNI - you just need to specify the name with the "-servername NAME" option.
