Subject Alt Names extensions are exactly what you're looking for.  Set the 
initial cert name to the actual fqdn of the box you're running on.  Then add 
all other hostnames,fqdns, and ips as Subject alt name extensions.

For example,  you have a 2 machine HA setup. ldap0.example.com (192.168.0.10) 
and ldap1.example.com(192.168.0.11) with a virtual address of 
ldap.example.com (192.168.0.12).

For ldap0,  you would set the initial cert as ldap0.example.com,  and then add 
the following as 
extenstions "ldap0,ldap.example.com,ldap,192.168.0.10,192.168.0.12"

Now when you try and do an encrypted query,  you can point to any of the 
following in you query ,  and not get a cert error.

ldap0.example.com
ldap0
ldap.example.com
ldap
192.168.0.10
192.168.0.12
