assigning multiple SSL certs to a single virtual web

iis security:
In NT 4.0 days, you could use the key manager to assign more than one SSL
cert to a single IIS virtual web site, as long as each cert had its own
unique IP/port combo.

Is it possible to the same thing in IIS 5.0 or 6.0? To get around it we
now have to create multiple virtual webs all pointing to the same file
space. But that is WAY too cumbersome due to all the IIS metabase changes
we need to keep in sync between the virtual webs! :-(

BTW, the reason we need to do this is that we have multiple DNS names
pointing to the same web site.

Cmon you IIS gurus, there's gotta be a way to do this.....

Are all the websites under the same domain ?
a.mydomain.com, b.mydomain.com and etc ?
if yes, you can get a wildcard *.mydomain.com cert.

if not, you will need individual site to bind those certs.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Yes, they are all under the same domain, but for various reasons we'd rather
not purchase a wildcard SSL. I was wondering if there was some other way.
Kind of curious why we could do it in NT 4.0, but not in 2000. Maybe it was
the nature of the certificates back then or something.

AFAIK, you need a website for each cert.
