I am not familiar with it too. Howewer, I don't think that it caused that
problem,
because I've got the same problem without SSLCertificateChainFile

You're right...I used the same key file to make more CRT files (for changing
only the common name of certificate)
So, server2.key and server3.crt are parts of the same key (public and
private keys) despite on their names

Yes, of course. Anyway, I am not familiar with random seeds. I used a simple
text file as random seed.
The file is random.rnd that is placed on the same directory of the private
key file.
