A network location server installed on the internal network is used to determine whether a DirectAccess client is connected to the internal network. When a DirectAccess client connects to a network, it attempts to access the specified HTTPS based URL on a network location server. If the connection to the HTTPS based URL is successful, the DirectAccess client determines that it is on the internal network, and DirectAccess functionality is not used. If the network location server is unavailable, and the DirectAccess client is connected to the internal network, DirectAccess functionality will be enabled for the client. This will impair the client's ability to reach internal network resources.
So in fact, the Network Location Server is only a web site (that you can host on any internal IIS server) with a HTTPS binding. That means, you need to bind a web server certificate to this web site. E.g. https://datest.domain.internal.
