Can I tell my SSL CA to locate certificates on a different domain?

Question

Digital certificates

Is it possible to make the root directory dir = ./demoCA point to another domain in the openssl.cnf file in the [ CA_default ] block, for example:
dir = $IP_ADRESS./
demoCA and both index.txt (where the issued and revoked certificates are displayed) and the .key .pem itself actually resided on a different machine.

Answer 1

No. Unless, in fact, it is on another machine, but formally mounted. But it makes no sense to specify any IP addresses in openssl.cnf.
