Wildcard SSL certificates to various sites (NAV 7.1 + 8.0)

Hi,

Is it possible to get NAV working with wildcard SSL certificates?

If yes is the following setup possible:
We get at wildcard cert. for *.ourbiz.com
At the site/ip where .ourbiz.com is pointet at, we would relay out to both internal and external ip's:
Internal ip's like customerA.ourbiz.com, and customerB.ourbiz.com and so forth. Which points to internal ip's like 192.167.100.110 and 192.167.100.111...
External ip's like extCustA.ourbiz.com, and extCustB.ourbiz.com. Which points to external ip's like 97.123.65.55 and 86.55.44.120...

So only one SSL cert would be purchased from us, and we would relay connections to both internal and external servers?
I have my doubts about the external ip's...

Does a dummy's guide to wildcard certificate purchasing and implementing exist?
*Where to buy
*Which specific options is needed in the purchase - private keys, etc?
*What name to give the dns identity and so forth

Thanks
MW

    You can use wildcard certificates, and you can use the same certificate in several NAV Server machines.
    The client must connects to the DNS name that is in the certificate.

    Remember you can only have a single level of subdomain, so -a.b.domain.com- will not match with -*.domain.com-
