Every year I crank out new Certificate Signing Requests to renew my
Verisign certs. I am told that by doing so I am creating new server
keypairs. That doesn't make sense to me (esp. since the server seems to
keep working while I wait for the new cert from my CA).

Am I right that generating a CSR (in this case, with Netscape Enterprise)
does not in any way change the server keypair, but merely does something
like create a signed x.509 cert + public key bundle?

Or does creating the CSR actually make a new keypair???

Thanks,
