I am sorry.  I don't completely understand ur (God!  All that irc-ing is
doing terrible things to my spelling. ;-) question.  You can have both the
secure and the insecure server running on the same machine
www.companyname.com  The insecure one serves content via http on port 80
and the secure one serves content via https on port 443.

Use mod_rewrite to do the redirection to https://www.companyname.com/.
