That works except I'd rather put _<rnd>.example.com and have it point to 
validation.public.com and verify validation.public.com as legit.

Subject: Re: [cabfpub] CNAME-based validation

How about making it simpler:

Confirming the Applicant's control over the requested FQDN by confirming the 
presence of a Random Value or Request Token in a DNS TXT, CNAME, or CAA record 
for an Authorization Domain Name or an Authorization Domain Name that is 
prefixed with a label that begins with an underscore character.

(insert “, CNAME,” in the existing method)

This would allow something like:

_certvalidation.example.com. IN CNAME <random>.validation.publicca.com.

This assumes the reason to ask for CNAME is to handle DNS configurations that 
don’t support setting TXT records.

Thanks,
Peter
