What you are asking for is that you have one certificate which works for
all domain names, which kinda defeats the point of having a secure
infrastructure.

If your server can be accessed by different domain names you'll have to
specify them in the subjectAltName field of the cert: 

http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/x509v3_config.html#Subject_Alternative_Name_

I think you asked that before and I told you the same thing back then.
