I think this post has the evolution of this question (Click here).

 

 

The practical answer for current versions is you can only support one certificate per virtual server. A wildcard cert for *.example.com would allow you to host a.example.com and b.example.com on the same VIP using one cert. Using Subject Alternate Names (SANs) would allow you to host abc.com and xyz.com on the same VIP with one cert. At some point F5 and browsers will probably support the server_name extension for TLS to allow support for multiple certs on a single IP address and port. To request F5 support this extension, you can open a case with F5 and ask them to attach it to CR94903.
