Office web apps server (2013) certificate issue

[News Bot]

If the name of the farm is different from the name of the individual office web apps server machine is there any way to deploy office web apps server with a single domain SSL certificate?

My office web apps server is working, but reporting itself unhealthy, apparently due to the fact that the SSL cert is for the name of the farm and that is different from the name of the machine.

Errors are 2004, 1004, 2156, 1156, "could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel"

Going to the farm's discovery URL in the browser works fine, but going to the machine name (plus /hosting/discovery) gives an SSL error because the name of the farm is not the same as the name of the machine.

Is there any way to make it use the farm's URL instead of the machine's URL in its own internal watchdog operations? Or any way to make it use a self signed certificate on the machine's URL for it's own health checks and still use the legitimate purchased

SSL cert for user access? Or any other way you can think of to use a $5.99/yr single domain certificate instead of a $89.99/yr multiple domain certificate?
