I have a web server (Apache) and configured a CA on this machine to create self-signed ssl client certificates (via openssl). Because the web server is in the DMZ, my question is: Is there any way to create the ssl client certs on a different machine (in the internal network) and can the web server in the DMZ be configured to use these certs?
Yes, you can (but you will of course need the CA key). It doesn’t matter on which host you create a certificate.
E.g. when you purchase a certificate from a trusted CA they create it on another machine, possibly on another continent 🙂
