This would be a very interesting feature.
I wouldn't have any problem to open my firewall to some dedicated IP addresses of the OCSP server(s), but startssl uses akamai CDN for ocsp.startssl.com, which means that i have to open any http traffic from my reverse proxy to outside. This is strictly a nogo on production servers.

Kind regards,
