Idealy, there's no need to have a dedicated IP address. As Mike
mentioned, it's possible to have a wildcard certificate. The other
alternative is a multivalued subjectAltName, but most cert vendors do
not support that as far as I'm informed.
JFTR: By chance i saw some time ago that TrustCenter supports up to
three subjectAltNames for free
(http://www.trustcenter.de/en/products/tc_trust_ssl.htm). A further
(very quick) survey shows that Thawte too supports additional
subjectAltNames, but here it comes with a price
(http://www.thawte.com/ssl/index.html).
A more intensive survey will probably show up further CAs supporting
multiple subjectAltNames.
Ciao,
Richard
