Custom domain stuck on "Waiting for DNS update" even though DNS is correctly configured

Question

Hi, I'm trying to connect my custom domain **boldoai.in** to my Railway service, but the domain has been stuck on **"Waiting for DNS update"** for quite a long time.

Here is what I have done so far:

1. Railway provided these DNS instructions:  
   * `CNAME @ → y9qbkl7s.up.railway.app`  
   * `TXT _railway-verify → railway-verify=...`
2. In my DNS provider (**Hostinger**) I added:  
   * `ALIAS @ → y9qbkl7s.up.railway.app`  
   * `TXT _railway-verify → railway-verify=...`
3. DNS propagation appears to be complete. When I run:

```
nslookup boldoai.in 8.8.8.8
```

I get:

```
boldoai.in → 66.33.22.2
```

which I believe is Railway's edge/load balancer IP.

1. DNS checker also shows the same IP globally.

However, inside Railway the domain status still shows:

```
Port 8080 • Waiting for DNS update
```

Things I have already tried:

* Waiting more than an hour for DNS propagation
* Re-adding the domain in Railway
* Confirming nameservers are correct (Hostinger DNS)
* Lowering TTL to 300

So it looks like DNS is resolving correctly, but Railway still isn't verifying the domain.

Would appreciate any help or suggestions on what might be causing the verification to fail.

Thanks!
