Subdomain issue: a site which belongs to team-external menber cannot be referred with subdomain

Hi!

Our team has created some sites with an apex domain and its subdomains.

We intended other netlify users who are external to the team to use other subdomains, such as mino.iemeshi.jp and have set C record with the user’s site, mino-iemeshi.netlify.app.

$ nslookup mino.iemeshi.jp
Server:		8.8.8.8
Address:	8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
mino.iemeshi.jp	canonical name = mino-iemeshi.netlify.app.
Name:	mino-iemeshi.netlify.app
Address: 128.199.185.38

However, the user fails to add the subdomain with the message Another site is already using this domain.

The same problem is also reproduced with another site jiyugaoka-iemeshi.netlify.app, which is owned by another user.

When I try to set the domain mino.iemeshi.jp with my own account which is internal to the team it has succeeded.
Is there any way to let the external user to use such subdomains?

We have decided not to use the Apex domain iemeshi.jp. As a result, other users are able to use subdomains *.iemeshi.jp now.
