RE: [cobalt-users] shared SSL on RaQ (4i)

["Tony" <isplists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SSL sharing was feasible on the Raq2's but gets more complicated
on the Raq3 and Raq4 with the rewrite rules. We've decided against 
offering sharing. Technically it's a violation of the CA agreement
and with the new lower cost of certs from Equifax and the easy 
GUI ssl managment features on the Raq4 it makes more sense to 
get the client their own cert.
