Yes, you can apply the same ASM policy to a number of Virtual servers.

 

However, that means that all the virtuals do have the same policy.

 

While this may make management easier, it may also make the policy monolithic, and more difficult to make changes.

 

I'd suggest individual policies to allow for customization, but it is your call.

 

On ASM version 13, you can layer ASM policies with a common base policy, and then individual customized policies for each virtual/customer/deployment on top.
