wildcard ssl cert: need static ip for each subdomain?
i am wondering, if one has a valid wildcard cert for *.mydomain.com, in order to host multiple secure subdomains from that cert would one need a static ip for each subdomain? i think the answer is 'yes' but i figured i'd ask to make sure as i could find nobody stating this explicitly anywhere.
so, with a wldcard cert and two virtual hosts on the same ip:
x.mydomain.com -> 111.111.111.111
y.mydomain.com -> 111.111.111.111
is a no-no, right?
instead they all still need to be ip-based sites:
x.mydomain.com -> 111.111.111.111
y.mydomain.com -> 111.111.111.222
thanks.
