AGAIN: --*-host etc. is the public server at every time. All links in 
the CA are relative so if you enter a hostname then it is at every time 
the public server! The links don't need the servername.

If you don't touch the DN of the root-cert, the keypair of the root-cert 
and the other data (especially the serial of the CA-cert) which you 
stored in the user-cert then you can renew the CA-cert.

But test this with one user first before you start doing this.

P.S. I think the CRLDistributionPoints of the user-certs are wrong too, 
right?
