Give them different key identifiers.  When determining whether a
given certificate is issued by a given authority, OpenSSL will
compare child issuer with parent's subject *and* child's authority
key id with parent's subject key id.  The child's AKID can also
include the parent's serial number.

Some people add a serial number attribute to the subject DN.  The
commonName is the same, but the full subject DN is different for
each instance of the certificate.
