Re: [cobalt-users] Where are the RaQ gurus?

[Dennis <dkc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to answer this I would need to know:

1) Do you want to have one certificate to server all the sites?
2) Or are you trying to have multiple certificates on one IP address?

#2 cannot be done. If are planning to do #1 let me know and I can tell you how
we did it.
