Summary

Documents the newly enabled CNAME-following behavior on cert-manager DNS-01 ACME solvers, which lets customers delegate _acme-challenge records to a lower-privilege DNS zone.

Context

Triggered by porter-dev/code#6488 ("enable cert-manager CNAME following on DNS-01 solvers") by @mauricioaraujoporter. The change configures DNS-01 solvers with the Follow CNAME strategy so a delegated _acme-challenge CNAME routes the ACME challenge into a different zone. With no such CNAME the solver behaves identically to the previous default, so the feature is purely additive.

Changes

  • Added a "Delegating ACME challenges with a CNAME" section to applications/configure/custom-domains.mdx explaining when to use CNAME delegation, how to configure the records, and a concrete example.

cc @mauricioaraujoporter for review.
