unkin.net is split-horizon: the _acme-challenge.unkin.net delegation CNAME
to _acme-challenge.acme.unkin.net exists only in the public Google Cloud
DNS view. cert-manager CNAME following resolved via in-cluster CoreDNS and
the nodes internal resolver, which serves an internal view lacking that
CNAME, so Follow found no delegation and still targeted zone unkin.net on
bind-external, giving NOTAUTH. Follow needs a public-view resolver for both
the CNAME chase and the propagation self-check.
- Set acmeDNS01.recursiveNameservers to 8.8.8.8:53 and 1.1.1.1:53 with
recursiveNameserversOnly true in the cert-manager ControllerConfiguration
so DNS-01 resolution and self-checks use the public DNS view.
