title: Gitlab Pages: Failed to verify domain ownership
body: <p>This morning I got emails for each of my Gitlab Pages that are hosted on custom domains, saying that the domain verification failed.</p>
  
  <p>That's fine, because I don't think I ever verified them in the first place - good on Gitlab for getting this going.</p>
  
  <p>When I head on over the the Settings>Pages>Domain_Details on each repo, I see the instructions to create the following record:</p>
  
  <pre><code>_gitlab-pages-verification-code.blog.ollyfg.com TXT gitlab-pages-verification-code={32_digit_long_code}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On creating this record, and clicking the "Verify Ownership" button, I get the message "Failed to verify domain ownership".</p>
  
  <p>I have ensured that the record <em>is</em> set, and calling</p>
  
  <pre><code>dig -t txt +short _gitlab-pages-verification-code.blog.ollyfg.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"gitlab-pages-verification-code={same_32_digit_long_code}"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is this a bug in Gitlab? Am I doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
