Indeed, and I alluded to that in my response to BlueOnyx:18597.   I 
think that's compatible with Michael's recommendation to either do 
everything in the GUI or everything at CLI.

In the case of a wildcard cert example that you reference, you have most 
likely already loaded the certificate onto Server #1.  That means you've 
got a matching cert, key and CSR that you can copy to Server #2 (and so on).

Where the OP was getting hung up is creating the CSR on one server and 
then attempting to install the cert on another, which will fail by design.
