I am using OpenSSL to create a self sign certificate and have a need to add approximately 4000, yes 4000, DNS entries (don't ask why) using Subject Alternative Name.  I have succeeded in creating a certificate with 500 DNS entries and it works just fine with no noticeable latency accessing the web sites listed via the SAN in the certificate.  However, I run into a problem when I create a certificate with more than 500 SAN entries.  OpenSSL creates the certificate and there are no indications of any problems.  After installing the new certificate, however, I can no longer access any of the sites where the certificate is installed.

I've read RFC3280 and there is no mention of a maximum for SAN entries.  Has anyone had any experience with this or do you have any ideas?  Thanks for any help.
