Hi,

My company wants to host several secure sites on a cluster of 3 machines.
 We want each site to be able to use SSL without changing the URL in the
browser.  As I understand it, we will have to do a couple things to
accomplish this:

1) Buy (or license) 3 copies -- one for each machine -- of an SSL
certificate for each virtual host.
2) Have one IP address per virtual host.

We'd prefer to avoid having to purchase 3 copies of each certificate,
though I believe #2 is required since SSL can't currently do name-based
mappings.  Is this correct and is there a better way?  We have thought to
use a dedicated machine that would sit in front of the cluster and just
handle the SSL processing, but some employees here believe there is a
better way.

Thanks,
Dan
