Just create a single self signed CA from OpenSSL and use it to sign a single cert for all your servers. You could also just use a self signed cert for all of them. Check out this info: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/x509v3_config.html#Subject_Alternative_Name_ That will tell you about using a single cert for multiple domains if that is what you need.
