thank @dagus. My boss was for option #1, eventually for #2 (especially since we are wasting a huge amount of valuable time to tech customers how to set, change, correct DNS, which is not paid), but then it came out that part of the requirements for our customers (it's public administrations) is to correctly handle the apex domain, so we cannot skip it. So we are left with 3. As to how: we know haproxy a bit, and we see it could work but we have to automate it, as you said. We love Traefik, and the way it creates automatically a letsencrypt TLS certificates at the first https call (so, "on the fly") , but as far as we understood we need to manually add new domain to its configuration: once again we need to "automate" it. We were wondering if some service out there is already providing it, since I think is really a general issue many should face.

ah... I've asked perplexity, and they suggest https://apexwise.io/#pricing https://apexwise.io/#pricing and what I've tried to explain is perfectly described here https://apexwise.io/#why https://apexwise.io/#why It could be a solution, but I see we have to add domains (with API), while our need is just to "fire and forget": we want to tell our customers: * set your apex domain as RECORD A with these two IPs: .... then if they do it well, if they don't we just do not want to care: if one day they remove those IPs, or add a new one on their own (something that happens way too often) it's their problem: we do not want to have to handle it (fix certificate renew, tell them they have to react and correct....)
