Zone NS records

See original GitHub issue

After dumping a zone from Cloudflare or Route53 (did not test any other providers) the YAML zone doesn’t contain any zone NS records, where you would want to keep the main NS records in sync. I suppose these zone NS records are currently ignored and need to be configured manually at each provider but should this not be something that OctoDNS keeps in sync?

Is that what this is about - and is it that OctoDNS cannot be used to maintain those records at the moment?

Your understanding is correct. I’ve looked at supporting this a couple times now and wished it was cleaner/doable, but consistently run into problematic behavior with some providers not allowing you to fully manage the APEX NS records. E.g. one I’ve run into recently even manually: Dyn will not let you remove its NS records from a zone (this isn’t something that’d be a problem for you, but it is something that would break octoDNS’s way of operating.)

Unfortunately there just aren’t good options here.
