I got a report that it works succesfully. This is what was tested:

You can *.foo.com. This will work with www.foo.com, mail.foo.com but not
secure.mail.foo.com

IE5.5 works this way Mozilla 1.3 will allow secure.mail.foo.com and
mail.foo.com 

Mozilla will only complain with foo.com.

This could have been fixed in newer versions of Mozilla if it is a bug.

I've heard that wildcard certs don't work. I've seen problems with them 
in mozilla for instance.
