Barry,
Is this your roundabout way of wanting to know if its possible to get one
rather inexpensive ($125) cert that will allow you as many Virtual Hosts on
your server with different domains as your server but with the same I.P.
address as your server?
This is not what a wildcart cert does.  You have to pay $125 per each domain
regardless of the I.P. address unless they are subdomains.  Thems the
breaks, unfortunatly.
Thawte does not have a cert that will cover all the first level domains you
put on your server.  Sad, but true.
