d_l Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I have a dual WAN router that doesn't have fail-over or load balancing capability for incoming trafffic so each DSL line is accessed independently of the other, e.g. by DDNSaccessline1.net or by DDNSaccessline2.net. Whenever I remotely access through the second line, DDNSaccessline2.net, which I would have to do if line1 was down, I get domain name mismatch complaints from my browser that I'm trying to access DDNSaccessline2.net, but the security certificate belongs to DDNSaccessline1.net. Although I can override the certificate warning window, I'm not even sure if the SSL encryption works properly when using the certificate for the first web address to access through the second web address. I'd like to install a second certificate to cover the second line's access. Before I attempt to just do it, I thought I should check in here and see if it is possible. Is it? Thanks.
Michel Kohanim Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Hello Dave, Unfortunately, that does not work yet because we do not yet support virtual hosting. It's possibly something that we may consider in the near future. As far as the web browser complaints, the encryption indeed does take place correctly. The only thing would be for you to check the certificate to make sure it's indeed issues by yourself. Other than that, I would not at all worry about security.

d_l Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 OK, thanks Michel. I'll just override the warning box whenever I have to access over line 2.
