Right now the Simple HTTP and DVSNI challenges are designed specifically
to work well with a running server. For the DVSNI challenge type, the
web server must support config reloads without downtime in order to make
the test cert available under a special SNI name. Can you tell us more
about why these approaches won't work for you?

Thanks,
