Hi,

 

 

If the client makes a request to the SSL proxy address over HTTPS with a host header value that doesn't match the cert's CN, they'll get the browser prompt to accept the mismatched cert. There isn't anything you can do to eliminate that.

 

 

You can try to eliminate the scenarios whereby a user would make a request to the SSL proxy via HTTPS with the wrong Host header value though.

 

 

If the client is first making a request via HTTP to a VIP address, you could redirect them to the correct host via HTTPS (https://www.main1.com). They wouldn't get the cert warning then.

 

 

Also, if you did end up buying the two additional SSL certs, you would need to configure separate SSL proxies on two new IP addresses.
