i do see ivan mentioned apache uses two key types to support sha1 and sha256. can you also do that? it is supported since 11.5.0.

Bryan, here are two pages from my book, Bulletproof SSL and TLS, that show how to use multiple keys with Apache: http://blog.ivanristic.com/downloads/bulletproof-ssl-and-tls_configuring-multiple-keys.pdf
Because this feature wasn't intended to be used to with around SHA1 issues, you can't have two RSA certificates, one with SHA1 and the other with SHA256. So you'd have to use RSA/SHA1 and ECDSA/SHA256.
