Quite frustrated with all the breaking changes, all within one year.
Due to the large number of DNS records (SPF, TXT, MX, A, CNAME, …) the dcoumentation from netlify recommends to use external DNS.
Fine.
But how the hell are we supposed to get HTTPS running, if we need to bring in an external cert which, obviously, is set up for the domain name, not netlify.app?
It’s like being stuck in limbo: NEITHER can we use the Domain registrars SSL cert because the domain name doesn’t match NOR can we use netlify DNS because netlify never detects the forwarding to the load balancer! Super annoying.
Here is a visual of the setup right now:
But NONE of the domains are setup with Netlify DNS, yet Netlify still claims they are :
Netlify DNS and external DNS is not meant to be mixed - I assumed the setup we had was correct but now we cannot for the life of it get Netlify SSL certs to recognize the domain setup. Can you help? What are we missing?
