Adding domain issues "Check DNS configuration"

[subin_sv]

Hi Guys,

I tried setting up a domain and most of the time I get “Check DNS Configuration” error. One workaround I found is deleting entire DNS Zone and adding it back.
But this causes some downtime and this is not something I can do everytime.

Netlify URL: https://keen-varahamihira-04a4b8.netlify.app/
Issue Domain: https://opc.devsv.in

This issue already happened to me on couple of sub domains already mostly with Domain Type: “NETLIFY” and “NETLIFYv6”. Also I cannot delete these sub domain since those are managed by Netlify. It will be better if we get manual option to edit “NETLIFY” and “NETLIFYv6” records.

If there are other questions after reading that, please let us know.

Thanks @luke

So, I think it is better to delete the records for : https://opc.devsv.in now.
Shall I create a new post on with Admin tag and close this issue here.
Or is it possible to move this post to Admin tag directly [I am not sure how to change or add admin tag]
