@mukurdhom,
Load balancers typically have SSL termination capability, and can have wildcard certs configured directly on them.
If your LBs don't have SSL support, you can submit individual certificate requests to a CA (Certificate Authority) for each subdomain/server -- which may add management burden and possibly cost more, in comparison to adding SSL termination support to the LBs.
Since your infrastructure already has a load balancer, I'd look into applying an wildcard cert, and call it a day!
Not sure what LB product your firm uses, the concept and process outlined below are pretty standard across the board:

Hope this helps!
