Yes, you need a WildCard certificate from Thawte:
http://www.thawte.com/getinfo/products/wildcard/overview.html

"A wildcard certificate is a single certificate, with a wildcard 
character in the domain name field. This allows the certificate to 
secure multiple hosts within the same domain. For example, a 
certificate for ' *.domain.com ', could be used for www.domain.com, 
www1.domain.com, www2.domain.com, in fact, any host in the domain.com 
domain. When a client checks the host name in this certificate it 
uses a shell expansion procedure to see if it matches."

Hope it helps.
