don't matter - instead of writing a mail that should have been just fixed

it's not rocket science to deploy SSL certs which match the used 
hostnames, at least not when it takes a few seconds to pase a vhost 
config and verify if all the names are listed in the cert while the main 
question is why a vhost needs that much names at all instead "THAT is 
the name of the subdomain and THAT is the certificate for it"
