Actually, when you buy an SSL certificate there *are* licensing
restrictions often imposed by the CA.  It costs them nothing for us to
put a cert on multiple machines, but they charge extra for it.  :-)

The reasons to do it on a single tunnel-like machine would be:
1) decreased cost
2) cluster machines don't have to deal with SSL (simplifiying
maintenance)
