Research direction

Start by tracing how DNS certificate challenges currently handle credentials and inspect the Docker default directory at letsencrypt/credentials/. Determine how previously stored credentials could be selected for new proxy hosts without breaking existing challenges. Done means a new proxy host can reuse an earlier DNS challenge credential and the behavior is covered by the relevant tests, if present.
