I can obviously add a mutex but then REQUESTS handling might be blocked for as long as a rekey can last (which is what I wanted to avoid in the first place).

Instead of handling it on a built in timer, does it change things if you trigger it via the control socket?

You could add some hooks so that radmin can trigger a rekey for a domain, then have an external process handle the timing.
