Well, in Apache I have the following, in addition to the usual
'SSLCertificateFile' and 'SSLCertificateKeyFile' directives:

SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle-comodo.crt

Are you saying that I can can just cat this file with my issued cert and
it will work just fine?  Hm... I guess I could just test this with a
test installation and some /etc/hosts entries.

Yeah, that's what I figured; thanks for the clarification.
