Certificate requirements for F5 and SharePoint apps

Hi all,   I'm trying to understand setting up an F5 LTM (11.2.1) for SharePoint, including SharePoint apps. I've been looking at the following documents:   F5 - http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment...

Generally the certificate used on the backend servers shouldn't matter. You do, however, need a certificate on the F5 for each host name that a user will attempt to access. For multiple hosts your options are wildcard, SAN (subject alt name), and SNI (server name indicator). If you can get away with wildcard cert, that is probably the easiest solution, with SAN coming in a close second.
