Greets,

I've been sifting through FAQs and archives, but I'm left with a
lingering question.

Given the following configuration:


                        +-----------+
                        |   router  |
                        +-----------+
                              |
                              |
             +----------------------------------+
             |  Load Balancer 'www.domain.com'  |
             +----------------------------------+
                   /          |          \
                  /           |           \
                 /            |            \
                /             |             \
         +-----------+  +-----------+  +-----------+
         |  xxx.100  |  |  xxx.101  |  |  xxx.102  |
         +-----------+  +-----------+  +-----------+

In the example, the Load Balancer is something akin to a Cisco
LocalDirector or a Nortel Accelar 750.  Where the host of 'www' is
actually the load balancer which forwards requests between
xxx.xxx.xxx.100, .101, and .102.

The question posed is how does one handle certificates on each of .100,
.101, and .102 such that  https://www.domain.com  can be handled by any
of the three machines?

Obviously, the machines can't all be named the same and still resolve
(ie, naming each of them 'www' with a different IP would result in DNS
round-robining .. which isn't desirable)

Can anyone shed a little light on this one while I still have my hair
left? (explanations, URLs, FAQ pointing all welcomed with open
sockets..)

mille grazie in advance..
