TLS/SSL certificates and multiple A records

We're in the process of migrating from our current server-oriented approach of handling services to a more generic services-based approach. The idea is instead of dedicating one machine to running a particular service, we'll dedicate a cluster of identical machines to running all services. One of the services that's earmarked to move is our outgoing mail server. As we allow users to establish a TLS/SSL connection to this server, we had some concerns about how to handle TLS/SSL certificates on our cluster. Do we need one certificate for the whole cluster or does each machine need a certificate?
