It isn't logging enough information to know why it failed. Can you look 
in the Apache error log to see why the request failed?

My first thought was that there was a CA trust issue. I believe that 
certmonger uses the NSS database where the certificate is stored so 
since it is also doing this against Apache (which in theory trust is ok 
for it to start at all) so I'm baffled. Hopefully the httpd logs will be 
enlightening.

Yes, you should be able to create a replica, this shouldn't affect it.
