Do you mean to say that if you have a signed certificate on the
puppetmaster for host 'foo.bar.org' and then you reinstall the system
'foo' and run puppet again you do not want the existing certificate
re-generated? 

I'm a little confused by your use of the terms "CA certificate". To me,
CA means "Certificate Authority" and I'm not sure how you are using that
in this context.
