Stupid question - What does the LE server need to do when it connects
to the PF server? If it is just checking that the name resolves in
public DNS, could the PF server's *public* DNS name be pointed at
another web server to get past this test???

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] Lets Encrypt compatability
I haven't tried it with packetfence, but LE works great for typical
websites. It requires a public website, though, so if you're going to
use it for your portal, the LE servers will need to be able to get to it.
