[jetty-user] Question about Jetty and HTTPS

Hello all,

We use a embedded Jetty instances to implement a multi-tier web-based 
system. We serve multiple customers concurrently and distinguish between 
them by the DNS they use to get into the system. We use one single primary 
IP and use CNAME (alias) DNS chains that in the end all point to that same 
IP.

We would like to extend this scheme with HTTPS. We want our customers to be 
able to provide their own certificates and use these in combinations with 
their DNS-es only. So we would have

DNS1 -> Customer A@IP
DNS2 -> Customer A@IP
DNS3 -> Customer A@IP
DNS4 -> Customer B@IP
DNS5 -> Customer B@IP

and use multiple certificates behind the same SSL listener on the same IP. 
Is this at all possible? Can a certificate be bound to only a single (or 
preferably a set of) DNS(-es)? Will using multiple different certificates on 
the same IP/port cause any kind of conflict?

I know little about HTTPS and certificates. I have read some tutorials about 
Jetty + HTTPS and think I know what to do but if what I want is not possible 
then that effort would be wasted.

Thanks in advance to everyone who can enlighten me here.

Kind regards,

Silvio
