The original web server for delegated http-01 challenges has the same level
of involvement as a dns-01 challenge does with a CNAME today. In both
cases, the challenge flow is immediately delegated to an independent
server. The only difference is that for delegated http-01 the authoritative
source is a web server whereas it’s a DNS server for dns-01.

There are quite a few downsides of the dns-01 flow compared to http-01. As
an example, http-01 validation can happen in less than a second, whereas
DNS challenge propagation can take tens of seconds or even minutes. And
with MPIC, this will be further degraded as propagation delay will be
slowest out of N (even with a small N=3, this will shift p50 propagation
delay to be the p80 of single perspective).
