Right.

I don't use CACERTDIR, I put the CRL in the CA certificate.
Ah, ok that should
work as well.
That works, but there's a maintenance problem. Our CRLs expire,
fairly
quickly, and that breaks certificate verification, so once we have a CRL,
we have to keep it up to date whether we care about it or not. There
doesn't seem to be any way to reload a CRL (OpenSSL bug 1424, Nov 8 2006),
so we have to restart slapd for each update. Does the CACERTDIR approach
avoid this problem?
No, unfortunately not.
