I just went through this whole process - all on MS IIS 5/6: Got the certificates from Verisign (worldwide company policy) and they cost around 500 or so quid.
One thing to now as you have mentioned below is that you cannot use Host Headers with SSL as IIS - if you want to use Host Headers you will need a dedicated IP BUT you do not need one to run SSL on an IIS server : you can easily get this to run without a dedicated IP. Also if you are running in a Load Balanced environment you do not need to purchase a separate Certificate per server (something which Verisign tried to say we required) as you simply make the Certificate Request from your site in IIS and then export a private key to each server and share the same cert : DO NOT use the default website to generate a request IIS will freak and you will have to frig with the SocketPooling settings etc. You will obviously have to set up your firewall to allow for 443 traffic and reconfigure your load balancer to ensure sticky sessions over both 80 and 443 traffic. Any info you need ping me offline.

About all I know is that you need a unique IP for each domain name.
