Is there any way around this if you have an IP and lots of A records 
pointing at it?

As I understand it mail clients are going to winge if you use any name 
other than the one which is in the certificate?  My simple research 
suggests that they don't do a lookup, then a reverse lookup and compare 
that?

It's a problem with vhosted domains...  Any suggestions?
