What if someone bought `httpslan.net`, issued a wildcard certificate for `*.httpslan.net` and published the private key?

Then anyone could just add `my.httpslan.net 192.168.0.13` to `/etc/hosts` and use published private key to verify connections?

It wouldn't be secure, as anyone could decrypt the connection, but for LAN it's not relevant, and it will make browser shut up.
