How to setup DNS configuration with Netlify and Digital Ocean combined?

• my-domain.com redirecting to Netlify
• subdomain1.my-domain.com redirecting to Digital Ocean

At the moment, my setup with Namecheap is this:

And Digital Ocean:

All the DNS setup is very unclear to me, I appreciate any help!

Thank you.

I have never worked with Netlify and Digital Ocean, but just in theory.

1) You are using Digital Ocean name servers, so you have to edit DNS records there.

2) Setup A/AAAA record for each subdomain:

• my-domain.com with Netlify IP
• www.my-domain.com with Netlify IP
• subdomain1.my-domain.com with Digital Ocean IP
• subdomain2.my-domain.com with Digital Ocean IP

Remove A/AAAA record with Wildcard (*.my-domain.com)

3) Setup your server to listen for it
