Why would you want to use multiple methods?  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.

Hope this helps.
