Hi Michael,

adding another trusted CA for the same virtual host is done by
concatenating the extra CA file to the old CA file , given by the
directive SSLCACertificateFile. I thought the directive
SSLCACertificatePath was used to do this, but putting my CAs down 
there and hashlinking them did not do anything. Unfortunately Ben
did not mention the purpose of this directive anywhere.

Putting every PEM-encoded CA in the one SSLCACertificateFile
allows every cert signed by that CAs to pass to the virtual host.

Hope I understood your question in the right way,

Eckard
