[ale] SSL Certs for $14.95

[Christopher Fowler]

James,

I've not got a CERT before but with this $14.95 service that ahs been
mentioned I am looking at going ahead and doing it.

Could you please tell me how you went about creating the request and
getting the cert for your DN name that is an IP.  I want to begin the
process for my server.

Thanks,
Chris
