i need to create an SSL certificate signing request for server1.domain1 but i want it to have an alias server1.domain2 because we have ownership of the subdomains under domain2 but not for domain1

i've been looking online and can't find any how tos
 
if you don't own the primary domain (domain2) then you can't get a legit SSL cert for it. The domain owner has to do it. You also can't have the same cert on both server1.domain1 and server1.domain2 and have it be valid for both.
 
lets assume i do have ownership and i am not going for the same cert on both servers?
 
Then you'd either have to do a self-signed cert (not secure) or pay a CA such as GoDaddy, Verisign, GeoTrust, etc and get a signed SSL Cert. Once you get the cert from them, you would need to install it on your webserver. Certs are based on the whole domain (so server1.domain1 is not the same as server2.domain1, unless you get a wildcard cert for *.domain1)
 
we are going thru verisign but the main issue is changing the domain name for this server
