You say it was running with the self signed IPA CA and than GoDaddy cert 
was added to the bundle. How was it added?
IPA does not use certs for communication between the instances. It uses 
Kerberos. I am not sure the DoDaddy cert you added is even used in some 
way by IPA.
It seems that your GoDaddy cert is an orthogonal trust so if you 
replaced the main key pair then you just need to distribute your new 
GoDaddy cert to the clients as you did on the first place.
