How do I set cloudflare SSL for one site only on a multisite installation

Greetings,

I have two servers with two public IP addresses.  Our main site is on one public IP, All subdomain sites are on the second IP.  The primary site is SSL certified for https  operations, the others are plain http, and have no interest in going into https.

Our issue is cloudflare.  our domain is parked at cloudflare cdns.  I need cloudflare to be the cdn for all sites.  however, if I turn on SSL at the primary site, in cloudflare, it works, but all the http sites on IP2 fail.  If I turn off https/SSL on cloudflare, all of the http sites fire up, but the primary site fails.  

Our only solution was to turn off SSL, and turn cloudflare into dns only to support both.  This, IMHO, denies the reason for having cloudflare in the first place.

is there a way to tell cloudflare to SSL the primary site, and not start a SSL handshake for the other A lines in DNS?

Thanks.

If you want ssl for only one site then you install the certificate on that site and don't use cloudflare's certificates

that works, but then how do you tell Cloudflare to operate the cdn portion?  when we turn on Caching, it fails the site?
Thanks.
