Redirection help

I hope this makes sense.

If you have a site (site A) with an SSL certificate, can you park a domain name on it (one without an SSL certificate itself) and redirect it to a secure page on site A?

Or can you not redirect an unsecured parked domain name to a secured page without getting error messages?
 
Thanks DomainAngel.

So I would not park it, but would add some code to the .htaccess?

I want to do this for a few thousand domains :)
 
It may do in the morning when I have time to go through it :)

But I think I know what you mean.

Would I still park the names, redirect them to a page on the secured site, and then when I've redirected all the domains, move the redirections in the .htaccess file to above the https section?

Really appreciate the help.

Do I just paste all the redirects above the line above?
 
Apparently just parking won't work, but I'll wait to see what others say tomorrow. Thanks for your help though! I think your solution may work for me.
 
I tried your solution and think it works for me too.

I'm not sure how these things work, but would having such a big .htaccess file (with lots of parked names being redirected) affect site performance in any way?
