However, my comment in response (after thinking about the issue) may
still be valid - requiring the specification of an alternate host rather
than completely ignoring host mismatches would be more strict and thus
may be more desirable.

For his example, he could get the wildcard behavior he wants using
something like

[groups]
g1 = *.host.com

[g1]
ssl-host-override = host.com
