>> I am pretty sure that it doesn't support SSL VPN's either.  All NetPro discussions show the same results.  Assuming you are support multiple customers and want to give them access to their firewall, or whatever you reason for choosing multiple context may be, you should use another ASA pair in Active/Standby to provide VPN termination services.  You may have to mess around with RRI, but you should be able to pull off customer segregation using VLANs.
