Just out of curiosity, wouldn't a wildcard certificate be compatible with
name based hosting?

I could run http://www.devilsplayground.net/ and
http://webmail.devilsplayground.net/ on the same IP/port if my certificate
was for *.devilsplayground.net couldn't I?

Or is the wildcard part handled by the server, rather then the browser?
