Two different physical hosts + IPs, one cert

2005-09-12 Thread Chris de Vidal
I am going to install two different servers in two different physical locations
which would necessitate two different IPs.  I will use multiple identical DNS A
records to round-robin traffic like this:
1.1.1.1 - example.com
2.2.2.2 - example.com

I'm just not sure about SSL; can I create one certificate pointing to one
hostname?  I would think so, as openssl req asks for the hostname only; no IPs.
 But I wanted to be certain.

The certificate refers to the host by name, not by IP address.  So as
long as the two hosts have exactly the same FQDN, then you should be
fine.
