Thanks for the follow-up.

Yes, they are all under the same domain, but for various reasons we'd rather
not purchase a wildcard SSL. I was wondering if there was some other way.
Kind of curious why we could do it in NT 4.0, but not in 2000. Maybe it was
the nature of the certificates back then or something.
