I think that is the workflow I am going to use, before I kick off the
rebuild run

puppetca --clean <fqdn>

and keep the <fqdn> in the autosign.conf so when it rebuilds and kicks off
the puppet service the ca just autosigns the cert.  It would be nice to be
able to set a special key/password that the puppet daemon could send that
would tell the ca to revoke previous keys and autosign a new key for that
host.
