Okay. Yup, that’s probably true. I’m not that deep into network stuff. But, if you’re just doing the basic, ‘ha.mydomain.com => 121.41.38.9’ that works out of the box with host based b-hosts, then yeah, you’ll get traffic on that within 24 hours.
I reckon if a person understands what you’re talking about though, they’re already doing better than most.

Actually, wait. Something you a said might actually be just what I’m looking for: you mean that I can have DNS entry for mydomain.com and no additional AAA records, and have a cert for nextcloud.mydomain.com (or wildcard maybe?) and somehow still be able to use name based virtual servers?
Hmmm. I thought I was going to be limited to path-based.
Explain more?

A solutrly. Simply use ACME with the DNS validation method. Using bind you’ll want to create keys and allow TXT access for those keys to the validation domains. That’s all you need the actual domain doesn’t need to be resolvable with an A/CNAME record. Internally you can run an entirely different DNS server to resolve your hosts, use hosts files, or use bind zones.
