Yes. This is our dns provider not bending the rules to work nicely with Heroku, which doesn’t play well with apex domains (but is handling our SSL.)
Would love a tip if anyone knows an easy way to fix this properly.
You really should just switch to a DNS provider that does ALIAS-style apex domains like Route 53. GoDaddy as DNS provider will be a mistake you will almost certainly eventually regret, given enough time.
Oh wow, GoDaddy for authoritative DNS?
Yeah, seriously, spend $1/month and use Route 53 or somebody -- anybody -- else.
