d) Use a CAcert cert with a AltSubjectName for each domain name. I have
   posted about this before to this list, this wiki page documents how
   to do it:

     http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/VhostsApache

   This is not suitable for ecommerce and such like since users need to
   install the CACert root cert to avoid warnings but for other purposes
   it's a great solution.
