Did I misread the docs? My suggestion would be a wildcard DNS entry in hermes's DNS so that *.affidian.com _does_ resolve, even if not to the real address (e.g. have *.affidian.com resolve to hermes' IP on the private net, thereby concealing any additional details about your private net). Of course, this might be incompatible with your DNS setup, but that's how I would address the issue.
