Mastodon Server?

[Jon Boone]

Apologies, for I mis-stated something when I said "this is typically how cloud hosting works" -- it's actually how hosting multiple servers on the same host works (which existed prior to large cloud providers).  As long as you provide an X.509 cert for the domain that is expected, things will work out fine.

I also forgot to add, regardless of whether it's a CNAME or straight up A/AAAA records, I think Clint will need an X.509 certificate (the public key portion) for presenting to clients and the associated private key and password to setup TLS sessions for that particular hostname within that domain.
