This is a commercial setup, from what I remember LE is for non-commercial setups. Also I need to get two wild cards  one for *.mydomain.xxx and *.yyy.mydomain.xxx
and I dont think LE can do the latter.

i'd be keen to get a copy of that!  the devs i support loved your ssh 
book, and i loved it b/c i didn't have to actually interact with humans :)

one issue i've had with let's encrypt is trying to use it on private 
subdomains on AWS.  iirc the system needs to have a public DNS entry as 
well as access from the internet to work - i might be mistaken tho on 
this...
