How does one generate a self-signed (later a CSR for a real cert) SSL certificate for three domain controllers (dc1.example.com dc2.example.com dc3.example.com) for the Windows domain EXAMPLE.COM for use with LDAP

The subject, I believe, should be EXAMPLE.COM with three Subject Alternative Names being the dns names for each DC.

How do I generate this certificate preferably with openssl, and definitely without installing certificate services?

EDIT:

An additional requirement is accomplishing this using only existing tools built in to RHEL 6, Windows 2008 R2, or software which can be acquired from Microsoft directly.

virsh create somefile.xml creates my machine just fine but when I shut the machine down the whole thing disappears. Machines I made with the virt-manager GUI are persistent (stick around after shutdown) and the xml file is derived from those virt-manager created machines.

Centos6 box on a network I control.

I want to be able to set a static IP locally on the machine and have it grab its FQDN from the local DNS server without me having to set it manually.

# hostname
localhost.localdomain
# dnsdomainname // Doesn't return anything at all
# dnsdomainname -A
the.intended.fqdn.com
# dnsdomainname -f
localhost

I have both an A record in DNS and the matching reverse-dns record, but something is missing.
