Hello,

We are getting ready to host an app that requires a complement of offsite
cold spare backup servers.  We are going to be testing the configuration of
the servers and our procedures for switching to cold spare in the event of a
catastrophic failure of the primary servers.

My question is - what do I do about the certificate/key for the web server?
Can I merely move the server cert and private key files from the production
web server to the spare web server ( which has been built and configured
identically to the production box )?  Or will this scenario require a second
certificate from the CA?

We have signed our own certs in the past for internal intranet use for
smaller hosted apps with just a few client connecting, but this is for a
rather large customer and there will be many clients connecting to the app
so we must go with Verisign or such.

Thanks,
