We use Digicert for our wildcards.  They have a utility that scans your network and will tell you where it finds the 
cert in use at.

We've considered that. How do you keep up with everywhere it's used when time to renew?

We get a wildcard cert from COMODO that we can put on as many servers as needed for one price. We can use any *.pct.edu 
name with one cert

We don't have enough SSL certs around to qualify for one of the "get as many as you want for one price" deals, but the 
costs do seem high for non-essential sites. Has anyone used a reseller for cheaper prices like namecheap of GoGetSSL? 
They offer the basic Thawte SSL123 certs for $35 a year, which is considerably cheaper than the $149 Thawte lists.
