What does "works" mean in this context?

It is not clear what you are talking about. What are these certificates for?
Web? Email? What client software are you attempting to use?

If you are trying to get existing software to work with your special
certificate scheme, you are attempting to impossible. You will have to use,
at a minimum, your own client software. Programs like IE and Firefox are
unlikely to properly handle unusual cases like this. At least, last time I
checked, IE broke wildcard certificates so badly that I would consider it
irresponsible for a CA to issue such certificates. (And there are still
clients out that *IGNORE* the restriction even though it's marked critical!)

Rather than wildcard certificates, just set up a web site to issue whatever
specific certificates are needed.
