Kind of. I use the same key for all of the certs for the many names
that each of my mail servers have so I have one TLSA record and a lot
of CNAMEs. That's probably bad practice for some reason but whatever.

One tricky part is setting things up, ensuring that you know all the
names the server has and that the certs are all issued and the TLSA or
CNAME installed. The other tricky part is automating the renewals
which requires either DNS API access or a hack with a web server with
the same name as each mail server name. Neither is horribly difficult
but they're things mail operators haven't had to do in the past.

R's,
John
