I'm using a wildcard certificate and CNAME records to interal hostnames, it works pretty nicely for my use case. I don't need to leak out a map of my hostnames and I don't need to do a full split-horizon DNS.
So if I want to encrypt traffic to "service1.example.com", "service2.example.com" and "service3.example.com" that all run on server A, I'll make three CNAME records that all point to "server-a.internal", and I'll just resolve "server-a.internal" in my local network. Obviously, anyone can query what "service1.example.com" points to, but they won't figure out anything beyond "server A".
