Maybe I am confused but I thought you are using DNSSEC to sign the zones so only the domain owner could issue certificates for a zone (or corresponding email address). If you have "example.com" the domain owner of the domain would sign zone "joe.example.com" which can correspond to the "joe@example.com" email address. Under this scenario you would only have one CA per domain. Russ
