RE: [users@httpd] Running a cluster of Apache

I think I should add more details:

Lets assume that I have a cluster of machines running Apache:
 webapp0.eng.mydomain.com
 webapp1.eng.mydomain.com
 webapp2.eng.mydomain.com
 ...
 webappN.eng.mydomain.com

All of those instances of Apache are front-ended by a load balancer (a switch) that redirects all requests to services.mydomain.com to a member of the cluster.

But, if the communication is HTTP over SSL, what configuration is required so that the same certificate issued to services.mydomain.com can be used by all member of the cluster? Can I use a ServerName (services.mydomain.com) that does not match the name of the server (webappX.eng.mydomain.com)? Or do I require a <VirtualHost> entry?

Thank you.

Hi,
  I want to run an application in a cluster of apache servers, all of them accessible at the same URL.
  I also want to use SSL.
Is it possible to use the same ServerName for all the servers in my cluster? Would SSL work? Or
Do I need to define a <VirtualHost> and put the certificate and key under this host?

Thanks

-Jorge
