Gitlab Pages: Failed to verify domain ownership

This morning I got emails for each of my Gitlab Pages that are hosted on custom domains, saying that the domain verification failed.

That's fine, because I don't think I ever verified them in the first place - good on Gitlab for getting this going.

When I head on over the the Settings>Pages>Domain_Details on each repo, I see the instructions to create the following record:

_gitlab-pages-verification-code.blog.ollyfg.com TXT gitlab-pages-verification-code={32_digit_long_code}

On creating this record, and clicking the "Verify Ownership" button, I get the message "Failed to verify domain ownership".

I have ensured that the record is set, and calling

dig -t txt +short _gitlab-pages-verification-code.blog.ollyfg.com

Returns:

"gitlab-pages-verification-code={same_32_digit_long_code}"

Is this a bug in Gitlab? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
