Well, it turned out that the CRL was in the wrong format. So, I managed to convert it with OpenSSL and it loaded properly. I do have one more question... the Treasury Department, which produces these certificates for us, expires all the CRL's in just 6 hours, so does that mean I'd have to do restart on the database each time I got a new one or would a reload work?
