<![CDATA[Custom nameservers on Route53 complain about nameserver settings]]>I'm now setting up some company stuff. We use Route53 with custom nameservers.

Trying to use Route53 for a domain complains "Domain nameservers are not set to Route53" ... they are, we just have our own ns1.ourcompanyname.com set for them.

For now, we're just going to set back to default AWS nameservers, but we'd appreciate a way to get past this in the future.

I think "Skip nameserver validation for custom Route53 NS names" would get me there 🙂

And all of the DNS and Email stuff...I totally understand how difficult it is to give less technical users the ability to even USE this stuff, as well as support slightly more advanced users. You're doing a great job!

However, AFAIK, most DNS providers don't publish their IPs. So, it's not clear how we can protect users from basic errors (which is the common case). Basic mistakes is what we are trying to solve with domain validation. Maybe for the power users (who want vanity domains), we have to put a checkbox for "Skip nameserver validation" .

Just like you map a domain to a bucket.
