Thanks guys.  I went with separate certificates for each server.  Everything is working well so far.

we use a SSL certificate which contains a main common name and several
alternate common names. So it isn't a wild card certificate but we have
only one certificate to connect to our server (it's only one server) by
different hostnames.
