Hello,

We've generated our own CA for self-signing certificates.  The issue is that
we package up the openssl install  for installation on multiple servers. 
Therefore, the root CA we create is part of the package as well.

The problem is that since the CA cert will have the same serial number
across all servers, any certificates issued from that CA, on different
servers, end up having the same serial number.  This causes browser issues
for obvious reasons.

Is there any way to control the incrementing of the serial number from the
root CA so that it is completely random, instead of incrementing by 1, which
it now defaults to?  That way we can have the same root CA installed on
multiple machines and not run the chance of generating identical serial
numbers for certificates.

Thanks in advance
