Hello all-
        Finally received the quote from Verisign for 128-bit SSL certs for our
website, and I was blown away, $1595/yr! These guys must be making money
hand over foot at these prices. They want $895 for one cert and license
for one server and another $700 for each additional server in the
cluster. This is only for one FQDN, by the end of next year, I'll need
to secure three more domains hosted by these servers... Perhaps I heard
wrong, but I had thought that I could simply get one cert for a domain
(in this case www.smartbrief.com) and use it on all the servers hosting
it in my LVS system, but the Verisign people said I needed to buy
licenses for each server in the system!
        So I am wondering if Verisign is yanking my chain and if anyone has any
recommedations for other Root CA's that have more reasonable pricing.

Confused in DC,
Zack
