>What if I want to use local.my.app for development; Or, in a more textbook example, i want to use workstation-1.building-a.my.internal.my.app without https? uh... don't do that? if you're developing locally or internally, use my.app.local or workstation-1.building.internal. If you want to use public domains for non-public things i guess go ahead, but you can't expect everybody else to support your weird thing. Or if you really need to run your internal dev stuff on public domains, get a certificate for it.
