Can the same wildcard SSL certificate be used on different IP addresses and/or boxes?
Example:
Wildcard SSL certificate for *.example.com installed on two different boxes.
hostEU.example.com A 60.70.80.90
hostUS.example.com A 200.210.220.240
I assume this is a perfectly valid scenario, where the actual hostnames do not reside on the same IP (or even the same box for that sake).
Is my assumption correct?
Solution 1:
Yes, there is not technical limitation for this; except if your CA prohibits this use explicitly.
The most frequently limitation given by a CA is on the "physical servers", but may be someone limits even on IP basis.
As an example, Geotrust Wildcard Ssl says:
If you need to span the wildcard certificate across multiple physical servers, you may purchase additional licenses.
