The original poster didn't really ask this, but in fact, you can export from
IIS4 and import into IIS5.
This process is described at Thawte here:

As far as the original question is concerned, you can use the same cert on
multiple webservers. The cert is defined by domainname, ie
secure.yoursite.com, as long as it's used on the same domain on both
servers, you're all set.
