x509 certs don't care about IPs; the browser matches the cert's CN (Common Name) against the domain name it was requesting.

That makes sense.

So it should be possible to do an anti-DDos service with tons of IP addresses, but still forward on in encrypted form to a smaller number of real machines. Incapsula could have different certificates for different domains, but it is too much work, so they have gigantic certificates for a herds of unrelated domains. Right?
