AFAIK you don't speify an ip to register with a cert provider, they only
go by the FQDN. Because you can move the cert (domain) to different ip
addresses, as long as the FQDN is the same.
It must be mod_ssl or apache that restricts it to 1 ip address

I believe the 1 IP address is a requiremetn of the SSL prorocol
itself which affects stuff deep down in the TCP/IP stack.
