The fastest way to rapidly scale is to have SSL terminated at the load balancer so you do not need to update the the ssl certificate. The configuration to do it depends on what is being used for the load balancer. If you are using an F5 LTM then you can easily handle the SSL termination at the F5 and add new puppet servers to the pool with the F5 module from puppetlabs.
If you are using Apache then you would follow the same principle with the SSL terminated at the Apache load balancer. If you use mod_passenger you are already terminating SSL at the Apache layer so its not too different at that point.
