Consider letting Cloudflare serve the actual IPFS content

[burdakovd]

Released today: https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ipfs-gateway/

In that case dapps.earth will just need to run small DNS server that for each subdomain returns corresponding TXT record pointing to DNS content. *.ipfs.dapps.earth would be CNAME-d to cloudflare-ipfs.com

Pros:

• Much easier to scale and less infra to maintain, better latency
• They have some headers to ensure browser can verify integrity of the content

Cons:

• Each subdomain would need to manually request SSL certificate from Cloudflare through their form (or maybe they will add an API or support wildcard)
• Depenence on single vendor (they can get hacked, or discontinue the service, or censor content)

May also redirect only the subdomains for which we know Cloudflare has SSL certificate.
