There's no problem with load-balancing if you configure it properly. We are
running many vhosts (some SSL'ed, but wildcarded on the same IP/port with
the same cert) behind loadbalancer.

Our balancer does DNAT, so the servers don't know that it's there, they see
connections coming to them. 

The problem is, that if you want to have multiple SSL vhosts (with multiple
certs), you have to configure each of them on servers and balancer
(but you can do e.g. multiple ports with different certs on hosts, and the
same port on multiple IPs on balancer).

This highly depends on balancer behaviour. If it uses DNAT, behave like
there was no balancer there.

only with wildcard certificates (which works only if there are multiple
vhosts in the same domain).

Actually, he can balance the same SSL virtual host on two machined. But if
he wants two SSL virtual hosts, he needs 2 IPs or two ports (each of them
must be balanced separately)
