We have a unix box, called machine-1, with a web server application that uses the SSL protocol with private/public keys running on apache/1.3.33 and jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6.

We are doing a disaster recovery test and back up the software and data from machine-1 to a tape, then restore them to a second machine, machine-2. During the restoration process, machine-1 is shut down and off line. machine-2 will assume the identity of machine-1 with the same host name, IP address and network settings.

We are wondering if the web application using SSL still works when it is brought up on machine-2. Although the network settings remain the same, machine-2 has a different serial number from machine-1. Any idea on this issue? Thanks.
 
I believe this should not affect apache , as we are not doing any chanes in .crt and .key file .
