Hi,

I have created a number of TXT records for my domain on the Digital Ocean name servers:
TXT awesage.com returns “v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:107.170.5.217 ~all” 3600

However when I query directly against the DO name servers my TXT records are not being returned:

dig awesage.com TXT @ns1.digitalocean.com

; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> awesage.com TXT @ns1.digitalocean.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Other records created such as A and CNAME are being returned correctly. As I am querying DO name servers directly propagation delay should not be an issue. Why aren’t my TXT records being served? Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.
