[HowTo] Create your own SSL CA and secure multiple services

Dunno.

I would try and check to see what percentage of browsers will see the certificate as a valid one. Otherwise your back to square one.

(*) Please note a general limitation is that, unlike long-time players like Verisign, CAcert's root certificate is not included by default in mainstream browsers, email clients, etc. This means people to whom you send encrypted email, or users who visit your SSL-enabled web server, will first have to import CAcert's root certificate, or they will have to agree to pop-up security warnings (which may look a little scary to non-techy users).

Which would be the same for your self signed certificates.

Though by spreading CAcerts instead of your self signed ones you are helping the spread of the CAcert Root certificate
