Thanks for your help with my last post.
Now, the next task, will be setting up an N-way multimaster:
Server1
Server2
Server3
Server4
Using TLS. To create the certificates, finding a lot of varying ideas
via google, what is the "best practice" to create certificates to
where I don't have to touch each client if a server goes down. Create
a wildcard cert or use the subjectAltName in the openssl.cnf file?
I prefer to use a wildcard cert. I would note that a technically correct
wildcard cert has *.domain in subjectAltname. On the flip side, virtually
no CA creates certs that are compliant with the RFC for wildcards.
