Re: I'm about to embark on creating 12000 vhosts

Hi Richard. HAProxy defaults to reading all certs in a directory and
matching hosts names via SNI. Here is the top of my haproxy config, you
can see how i redirect LE requests to another server, which solely services
up responses to acme-challenges:

frontend http
mode http
bind 0.0.0.0:80

#if this is a LE Request send it to a server on this host for renewals
acl letsencrypt-request path_beg -i /.well-known/acme-challenge/
redirect scheme https code 301 unless letsencrypt-request
use_backend letsencrypt-backend if letsencrypt-request

frontend https
mode tcp
bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /etc/haproxy/certs alpn h2,http/1.1 ecdhe
secp384r1
timeout http-request 10s
log-format "%ci:%cp [%t] %ft %b/%s %Tw/%Tc/%Tt %B %ts \
%ac/%fc/%bc/%sc/%rc %sq/%bq SSL_version:%sslv SSL_cypher:%sslc
SNI:%[ssl_fc_has_sni]"
#send all HTTP/2 traffic to a specific backend
use_backend http2-nodes if { ssl_fc_alpn -i h2 }
#send HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0 to default, which don't speak HTTP/2
default_backend http1-nodes

I'm not sure exactly how this would work with GCP, but if you use AWS ELB's
they will give you certs (you have to prove you own the domain), but you
have to be able to use an ELB, which could change ips at any time.
Unfortunately this didn't work for us b/c a few of our larger customers
whitelist ips and not domain names. which is why i have stayed with
HAProxy.
