You can only have one public facing certificate per virtual server. You must present the certificate to the client in order to decrypt the SSL and see what they requested in the Host header.

 

 

There was a recent post (Click here) which mentioned using multiple SubjectAlternateNames (SANs) to answer for multiple hostnames within the same cert. You can check that post for details.

 

 

You could use a wildcard cert if the hostnames are all on the same domain.

 

 

Else, you'd need to break out each domain/cert to a separate SSL enabled virtual server.
