That would make my life easier, as we have hosts with multiple 
interfaces named as "foo.${FQDN}" for various values of "foo". Currently 
I have to enumerate all possible names when generating a host cert, 
being able to include "*.${FQDN}" would make things easier, and not 
require a re-issue on interface change.
