DNS isn't propagating

We have noticed that our DNS records since migrating to Cloudflare aren’t propagating across the web. Utilizing a tool like mxtoolbox or whatsmydns to see record propagations, we’re trying to set up a 3rd party application and currently are unable to do so.
For example: (can’t include links)

The record isn’t set to “proxy” because that breaks all of our records when enabled. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

What is the domain and hostnames you are having problems with?

What do you expect them to resolve to?

If it’s all records, then records not resolving in lots of places is typical of DNSSEC not being updated after changing nameservers.

It’s not allowing my to post links and I can’t figure out how to get this preformatted text option to work.

[s1._domainkey](http://s1.domainkey.u17507601.wl102.sendgrid.net)

domain is phpartners dot com

They resolve ok.

If you are using a tool to look these up, you need to look up s1._domainkey.phpartners.com directly, they won’t show if you just look up for phpartners.com

Yes, I am using the full domain name when looking up the records. They are not propagating fully across the web. Go to [https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/S1._domainkey.phpartners.com](https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/s1._domainkey.phpartners.com)

It appears you are delegating _domainkey.phpartners.com, likely a hangover from your previous DNS hosting.

Delete any NS records in your Cloudflare DNS (they will probably be for _domainkey).

dig +short _domainkey.phpartners.com ns
ns.vali.email.

That looks to have done it! We didn’t see that NS record hidden in there - thank you a ton!
