It would be great to have an option when using the API to force request (skip DNS verification) certificate on creation of a new tenant, using API. It is already possible via the user interface.

This is necessary if a load-balancer is in place. When I try to request an SSL for a Tenant via the API it is failing the DNS check on Tenants since the domains are pointed to the load balancer and not to the server directly.

We face the same problem here, it would be great to have this option.

We have a requirement for this as well. It's currently a road block for us.

Add the `force` parameter.
