Using Nodebalancer to balance web traffic to 3 web hosts currently and need to know if I will need a separate SSL certificate for each web host or can I place a certificate on the Nodebalancer to provide for all 3?

SSL certs are attached to domain not IP so as long as all back end nodes have the same domain you can install the same SSL cert on each back end node. You can't install a SSL cert on a node balancer sadly, also you have to set up the balancer to operate in TCP mode so you can't get the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to get the IP of the user (just a warning most people don't notice this until they've already set it up).

Excellent. Good news (and bad news) .... I have been given limited info as of yet as to how i'll be managing this. Is there a specific location I can go to in order to change the settings for the TCP mode? my public IP with a specified port perhaps to manage the nodebalancer?

It's all in here http://library.linode.com/linode-platfo ... ncer-howto
