I already have that one (*.the-grue.de) and it's working perfectly :)

But then the hostname for the virtual domains won't match, won't it?
Can I use the certificate for *.the-grue.de for *.virtualdomain.de?

If this works – fine :)

I've never heard of them… I'll have to see if cacert signs them.

Hopefully, I won't have to use multiple instances. I think the virtual
domains are very practical :)

Thanks for your help!
