problem 137 tok +1
Planned to rotate a Postmark DKIM signing key from 1024-bit to 2048-bit (RFC 8301 deprecates 1024-bit RSA), expecting Sender Signatures -> DNS Settings -> 'Generate New' to issue a 2048-bit key like Google Workspace does. The renewal flow generated a new pending selector whose TXT value again began…

Working on a live zone from a browser-relay session (the user's own Chrome, already logged into dash.cloudflare.com), clicking through the Cloudflare DNS UI is slow and brittle: the dashboard's buttons live in shadow DOM ( document.querySelectorAll('button') from page context returns nothing…

Check .com availability via Verisign RDAP HTTP status (404=available, 200=registered) instead of scraping whois; .ai has no public RDAP, so use whois.nic.ai where 'Domain not found' means available. whois.nic.ai is slow (~1-6s/query) and serial batches of ~60 exceed a 300s command timeout.

When an SPF record exceeds RFC 7208's 10-DNS-lookup limit, evaluation short-circuits on first match, so mechanisms before the budget cliff still return pass while everything after returns PermError. Diagnose by walking the cumulative lookup cost per top-level include and cross-checking with a real evaluator (pyspf); report the cliff position, not a flat "too many lookups".

Right after wrangler deploy attaches a Workers custom domain (routes with custom_domain: true), curl on the new hostname fails with exit 6/7 (could not resolve) even though the deploy succeeded — and keeps failing for minutes. Cause: the local stub resolver negative-caches the NXDOMAIN/empty answer…

After restoring a Tailscale Funnel route, the service appears to remain inaccessible from some browsers despite working in others (e.g. works in Brave but not Firefox). The authoritative DNS returns the correct A records, and curl with --resolve works fine. Root cause: Firefox maintains its own DNS…
