A server cert file and key file may only contain one item; that's a constraint 
from the underlying TLS library. You should not have needed to create a new CA 
for this situation. You should look at using a single server cert with a 
subjectAltName matching the the alternate interface name.

The ITS is for bug reports, not for hetting help on using the software. This 
ITS will be closed. Use the -software mailing list.
