why? the signed cert is on your disk in 2 seconds. just request it on the fly. what's your use case for wildcard certs?

One usecase is a server that intercepts traffic for multiple domains. For example, a load balancer. I use AWS ELB/cloudfront for SSL termunation and they only except one cert, but they can send to multiple back ends. Then the server is routed on the host based on URL.

You may simply want AWS ELB to support SNI, and thus allow you to install multiple certificates.
