I agree that this is a good idea, but I wanted to add that if someone owns a domain already, they can also use that internally without issue.
If you own a domain and use Let's Encrypt for a star cert, you can have nice, well secured internal applications on your network with trusted certificates.
You don't even need a star cert.. The DNS challenge works for that use case as well.
I agree, if you're putting your internal domain names into the public DNS you do not need a star cert.
No, you don't need to do that.
Maybe I'm missing something then, how would you pass a DNS challenge?
