vercel: Cannot alias external domain that is hosted on DNSimple

When I run $ now alias myapp-lffhmvgecs.now.sh myapp.example.com, I get the following error:

> myapp.example.com is a custom domain.
> Verifying the DNS settings for myapp.example.com (see https://zeit.world for help)
> Verification OK!
> Provisioning certificate for myapp.example.com
> Error! Unknown error: Error: Invalid challenge response for myapp.example.com. Make sure the DNS records are correct.

The domain is hosted via DNSimple.

I’m also having the same issue with Namecheap. Cannot setup a subdomain. I get to the exact same point as the original poster.

Yeah, if you see the domain as verified in now domains ls then NS records are ok from our point of view. The problem is that DNS records are hard to get propagated fast. For example sometimes a local DSL router caches old A records for too long etc. Check the records from some other location if possible. I assume you are seeing an ALIAS records and a CNAME record for you domain with now dns ls.
