Please do... There is some debate as to whether they are still available and, if so, from whom. There was a posting a few weeks back from someone who had a commercial wild-card cert but I can't remember who he got it from. AFAIK, Verisign don't sell them anymore (if they ever did) but Thwate might be more hopeful...

Good Luck... and post back any results you find.
