    DNS alias mode:

    * https://dan.langille.org/2019/02/01/acme-domain-alias-mode/

    * https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/DNS-alias-mo...

    You want the name "internal.example.com". In your external DNS you create a CNAME from "_acme-challenge.internal.example.com" and point it to (e.g.) "internal.example.net" or "internal.dns-auth.example.com"

    When you request the certificate you specify the "dns-01" method. The issuer (e.g., LE) will go to the the external DNS server for the look up, see that it is a CNAME and then follow the CNAME/alias, and do the verification at the final hostname.

    So your ACME client has to do a DNS (TXT) record update, which can often be done via various APIs, e.g.:

    * https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon

    You can even run your own DNS server locally (in a DMZ?) if your DNS provider does not have an convenient API. There are servers written for this use case:

    I already had Bind on the machine so it was logical to add the zone there and utilize nsupdate : https://gist.github.com/kronthto/893715f12cc0b1cda9fcfdbd8dc...

    But what you are suggesting should work just fine aswell - there should be no need for a persistent service. Of course the service would need to run on port 53, so you actually cannot have another nameserver on that machine already, and also require CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE .

    A quick search lead me to this python project that could be an inspiration: https://github.com/pawitp/acme-dns-server
