Hi,

well, one could manage huge hosts-files ;)

but seriously, you just need a dns-name / wildcard-certificate for a
domain you trust. If your customers trust your certificate AND your dns
- maybe because of dnssec - you don't need that for every customer.

To keep things off our full-featured nameservers, we did a
zone-delegation for a cloud-subdomain.domain.tld to a small bind which
holds just a flat zone-file wich contains all of the a-b-c-d to a.b.c.d
A-Records.
This took us maybe one hour and a 3-liner in bash.

cheers,

- Stephan
