DreamHost Provider only works if root domain is set with an A or AAAA record
See original GitHub issueI’m using Lexicon to generate certificates an environment where DNS is my only accessible option, but I’ve noticed an odd behavior. It appears that it’ll only successfully authenticate a domain if the @
entry has an A
or AAAA
record defined in DNS. This is a bit problematic in my environment as I have a CNAME pointed towards hashnode setup for that entry.
Is there any reason why a CNAME would not be regarded as valid for the purposes of authenticating the domain? You can see the behavior defined below.

A follow-up from Dreamhost confirmed that the APIs that we are using (dns-add_record and dns-remove_record and dns-list_records) are still working.
I’ll update the code and include CNAME
