External DNS configuration

Hi, My website profspectnl.netlify.app is externally managed. NS records from Netlify were properly added in the external domain control centre. I have also added the DNS records to Netlify, because my mail server is managed externally. Now i see that only one domain alias is managed via Netlify, while the other one still awaits external DNS.
When I try to make www.profspect.nl my primary domain, I get an error that certificate is being created.

Can you please instruct me how to proceed further? Also, www.profspect.nl still points to the old server, and not to Netlify server.

Hi Udomarc,

Thanks for writing in! You may check on this article and see if this helps:

Hi, I was asked by the party who manages the external domain to add the A record that points to their IP address. If I now ask them to also add the A record to point to 75.2.60.5, wouldn’t that be double confifguration?
Furthermore, they have already added Netlify NS records, shouldnt that be enough?
Can you please look into the DNS configuration on our website and give us clear instructions how to proceed forward?
Thanks!

I’ve fixed this for you.
