If only some correlation is desired, then you could just use e.g. the
last two digits of the checksum. This allows a correct match when in
possession of the correct cert, but also one can imagine many
non-existent certs which would also match.

Hi Gerv.  I don't think this is desirable.

Only the domain owner needs to know what the unmasked subdomains are, and they can do this by simply looking at the corresponding Certificate.
