Multiple SSL Certificates in Single Keystore File Possible?

I have an Apache Tomcat 6.0 server hosting 3 sites (all internal on a test subnet), all of which require SSL. Is it possible to have 3 different SSL certs imported into my single .keystore file? If so, how do I specify what site uses what certificate? I've read about keyAlias parameter but I can't seem to get it to work. I could use a wildcard cert if they all had the same domain suffix but they do not (for example, I have https://mysite.mydomain.org, https://myservername, https://myserverIP).

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think a bigger problem is that the way SSL works allows only one cert per server machine (or server IP ?). So the limitation isn't in J2EE, it's in SSL as a whole.
