Adding an "_acme-challenge" record for DNS verification

Hi, I'm trying to add a TXT record for "_acme-challenge.MY-USERNAME.webfactional.com" in order to be able to perform DNS verification for Let's Encrypt.

I try to do this through the console, in the domains tab, but it doesn't seems to work since I don't see the record on ns1.webfaction.com (using dig).

I get a feeling that it may be due to the subdomain having special characters or something like that.

Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to open a ticket since I don't think it's a major issue.

This should work as per our docs. But if there are propagation delays you will need to open a ticket with more details so we can look into it for you.
