For which other protocols did you want certificates with IP addresses as identifiers?

I think these may be needed for SIP, particularly roving (nameless) clients. And quite possibly for P2P applications.

How could you use ACME to validate the IP address of a roving client or a P2P application that has no fixed IP address?

Having said that:

This seems like a reasonable use case.

If your list is longer than zero, are you willing to help Roland with a solution using DNS records for validation that has any chance of being usable?

Yes, I’d be willing to work with Roland on at least finding and documenting likely use cases. Are you? Whether we (or others) can then come up with something that has any chance of being usable is another matter.

Exactly. Given the difficulty of getting stable in-addr.arpa and ipv6.arpa records at all, being able to write a TXT record into them seems completely unstable. Thus, "temporarily put up a web server where you were going to put up the DNS (or other) server" seems the most likely to work reliably. If you have other ideas, that's great.
