Hi,

I'm a little confused on this one. If I have 2 load balanced servers, do I need 2 SSL certificates? Or can I just use the same on both (since the browser doesn't see the configuration as 2 servers..)?

Use the same cert for both. SSL connections dont have to be sticky, but its faster if they are (I think that EV1's LB is configured to be sticky for a certain period of time).

Yes for one certificate because they are both serving the same domain/subdomain. I do not know the exact numbers off the top of my head but the ev1 load balancers are configured to keep a given session on the same server for so long. You should have no trouble using ssl over the LBC cluster.

An active connection will be maintained to the same server while it is active and for one hour afterwards:

"A client will always be mapped to the same physical server while communicating while using the same protocol. This will remain true until either the service fails, or the client has not communicated with the load balancer on that protocol for 1 hour."
