And A and AAAA records are the only way to do HTTP with web browsers ... so?! What makes you think that CNAME or DNAME records are specific to A or AAAA record

What makes you think that CNAME or DNAME records are specific to A or AAAA records?!
- mrkurt 9y agoI'm really struggling to understand what you're recommending. Will you explain how a DNAME works with the Lets Encrypt auth process in a way that makes it as simple as a single CNAME/a-record?
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoWell, you have them create a DNAME that maps theirhostname.theirdomain to yourhostidorsomething.yourdomain, and then you have in your nameserver A and AAAA records for yourhostidorsomething.yourdomain and a TXT record for _acme-challenge.yourhostidorsomething.yourdomain!? (Obviously doesn't work if they are to keep control over other subdomains of theirhostname.theirdomain, and also, I haven't tried it with DNAMEs, so I don't know whether their implementation is buggy.)
