I have ServerA, ServerB and Client1.
What prevents ServerB connecting to ServerA and getting
the certificate and then serving it up as its own, claiming to
be ServerA?
Client1 tries to connect, and somehow gets redirected to ServerB.
ServerB returns CertificateA proving that it is ServerA.
How does Client1 verify ServerA's identity and reject imposters?

Thanks,
Brad.
