FIX: The SSL IP address of the Web site is changed when you use Commerce Server Staging to deploy a metabase setting to a Web server in Commerce Server 2007

In Microsoft Commerce Server 2007, you use Commerce Server Staging (CSS) to deploy a metabase setting to a Web server. When you do this, the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) IP address of the Web site is changed. Additionally, the non-SSL IP address of the Web site is not changed. However, you expect neither IP address to be changed when you deploy a metabase setting to a Web server.
