Are there any special considerations for creating SSL certificates for clusters?
Do you normally just get one standard SSL certificate per server (e.g. prtgserv1.blah.com and prtgserv2.blah.com)? Or do you have a DNS alias for the PRTG service and have an cert named for the alias (e.g. prtgsvc.blah.com)? Or do you mix the two and get a certs names for the alias but with subjectAltNames to allow you to access servers individually by name?
