Off the top of my head, the simplest way would be to manually change the certificates[1] post-install to use a wildcard certificate[2] for the entire domain. That way, you wouldn’t get any SSL issues as *.network.com <http://network.com/> would be covered by the single certificate.

You’d also need to use the same certificate and key on both the primaryhost and failoverhost so that your clients don’t notice when/if they shift from one to the other.

Cheers,
Avi
