This looks great! I'd actually be happy to merge this as-is, but also made a couple comments for some things that popped out to me.

Maybe we could mention this service in the manual section on DNS-01?

[emilylange]

Hmmm I guess we could do something like that.

Are you thinking of a full-blown detailed example, or just a mere mention?

If it's possible (and simple enough) to use acme-dns to replace the BIND-based workflow, then I think it would be nice to document how to do that, at least as an alternative.

However I am not familiar with the process at all; it seems like you might also need to use acme-dns-client?
