Today I was struggling to setup dns-01 challenges with HOOK_CHAIN=yes. I had a DNS setup problem which would have caused invalid_challenge to run with a useful explanation, but with HOOK_CHAIN=yes it doesn't run. I noticed the same for request_failure.

Having HOOK_CHAIN=yes is optimal for dns-01, since it allows all the challenges for a cert to be bundled into one DNS update.
