this is IMHO an known problem to TLS/SSL certificates. on http servers 
you can get around with setting the subjectAltName of the certificate to 
the other dns names.  Don't know if this works too for bacula and don't 
know if this is a standard or just "best practice".  

clearly i would say this is not a task that needs to be fixed in bacula,
