certificate questions

I'm taking a look at the JavaCosign filter and would like to set it up
on my development workstation. The install section of the README.txt
file talks about creating a keystore and a certificate and a signing
request, and then "Have your CA sign the CSR". This brings up a couple
questions for me:
1) The certificate requires a CN. I assume this should be a domain name,
and I assume the dn should be that of the machine the certificate will
be used on. Are those assumptions correct? My development workstation
doesn't have a domain name. It's a DHCP client and only has an IP, and
not always the same IP. Is this going to be a problem with regard to the
certificate?
2) Who is my CA, and where do I send the CSR to have it signed?
thanks for any info,
Will
