openssl x509 -in hostcert.pem -text

should show something like
 
,----[ certificate text ]
|  Validity
|    Not Before: Aug 12 09:50:42 2004 GMT
|    Not After : Feb  2 09:50:42 2010 GMT
|    Subject: C=DE, L=Hamburg,O=AVCI, OU=Administration,CN=marin.l4b.de
|    Subject Public Key Info:
|    Public Key Algorithm: rsaEncryption
|    RSA Public Key: (1024 bit)
|    Modulus (1024 bit):
| [...]
|    X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: 
|             DNS:ldap.l4b.de
`----

Now, in what part of openssl.cnf did you put the subjectAltName?
it should be within [ usr_cert ] part.
Is the alternate hostname resolveable by the resolver?
