Cool posting.

I've been successful with WildCard SSL + wildcard DNS on an IIS virtual server hosting SharePoint in host header mode otherwise known as scalable hosting. It's worked well and now is supporting around 1000 unique subdomains.

https://site.team.domain.com

The IIS WebSite/Virtual Server is not IP bound in this case as SharePoint does not support IP binding. It's the only IIS Virtual server on the box in a 2 node cluster.
