Using *.domain.com might actually get you into trouble with some browsers. I seem to remember Netscape being happy with a wildcard in the host position, but IE seemed to be stricter, requiring a separate certificate for each host in the domain. This is decidedly inconvenient since 1) it costs money -- not a lot, but some; and 2) you don't have the freedom to change host names without buying new certificates.
