Unable to configure root CNAME verification for .au domains

Australian domains (ending in .au) are limited by DNS providers in setting "@" as root level CNAME record (this is NOT allowed). Australian domains can not be managed by DNS providers such as Cloudflare, where this is allowed. This means Australian companies are unable to use Railway for top level domains as the domains CANNOT be verified using a CNAME with "@".

This is a CRITICAL issue for companies we service and Railway is losing genuine opportunities in Australia. We cannot direct root level .au domains to Railway.

We need a solution to be able to validate TLD in Railway without using "@" for domain flattening. Can Railway provide a solution? We have many pending businesses ready to move to Railway but this issue is a show stopper.

I'd suggest migrating to Cloudflare's DNS, as they support CNAME flattening (using CNAME records on root domains).
