Issued resolved...

Someone had actually copied the cert from the PF server to the DV cert location as well but renamed it to the same name that we had before.  So when looking at the config, everything appeared proper but after Christian’s message, I decided to go and actually check the cert contents…it had been changed…

Thanks to Christian and darkc0de and sorry for the false alarm...and now need to go have a discussion with someone…
