Multiple CNAME records not resolving

0

After adding a new CNAME record, the record will not resolve

The new record:

  • Record name: outreach
  • Record type: CNAME
  • Value: proxy-ssl.webflow.com

I also noticed some other records that are set do not resolve. For example, links: links.charliehealth.com.

Meanwhile, www does resolve.

Is there some kind of cacheing/flushing I can do? Or A possible misconfiguration?

Here is a link to a screenshot of all the records in the hosted zone

NOTE: I am only concerned with the CNAME record for outreach. I have been trying to get this subdomain to work for weeks now. The way I have added the record is exactly what webflow support has directed me to do.

Dear user,

DNS can always be tricky, but I might need some more information about your environment.

But first I need to check one thing:

  • I cannot find a CNAME entry for links.charliehealth.com but multiple A entries which resolve fine: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/links.charliehealth.com
  • You write that you want to configure a subdomain but mention a CNAME record. Did you specify the CNAME record in the zone charliehealth.com ?
  • Some customer run split-DNS configurations. Can you check if the hosted zone where your created the outreach CNAME record is a public hosted zone and it is reaching the right AWS account, e.g. by comparing the NS entries?

  • Thank you!

    • Interesting, not sure why that would be.
    • Yes
    • It is a public hosted zone. The rest of the setup is and has been working properly as far as I can tell. Which entires should I be comparing?
