TXT entries don't get added / updated

Hi!

I’ve added a few TXT records to my domain but they don’t get populated to DNS servers for whatever reason. What gives?

$ dig nesisuksi.com TXT

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> nesisuksi.com TXT

As you can see, some of the entries were “inherited” from the old nameservers, but, for example, the DKIM record doesn’t become available, and there’s an extra “ca3-<…>” record that has deprecated since but nameservers still have it.

Name servers are set correctly:

$ dig nesisuksi.com NS

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> nesisuksi.com NS
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

nesisuksi.com.      21599   IN  NS  elle.ns.Cloudflare.com.

Verifying DNS records for DKIM is a bit tricky.
