Only use Vercel domain for other host providers

[aboveyunhai]

hi community,
we have a Vercel domain that is used by one project hosted on Google Cloud Run instead of projects in Vercel.

As a result, we need to use a custom DNS records from GCR with different Type A and Type AAAA.
As the Vercel domain dashboard suggests, we cannot delete the Vercel “default” and the new one we added will automatically override it.

Currently everything is working fine after the new configuration.
But we keep getting invalid configuration from this panel asking me to remove the “invalid configuration” and add “the default back”.

The reality is that we cannot remove the default, but the default is in fact not being used.
The config is correct so the error is misleading and counter against the warning from the domain dashboard side.

We just keep it as it’s now as everything is working fine.
But not sure what to do in this case from the Vercel side to “hide the incorrect error” if we just use the domain service for certain cases.

The reason I need to have the configs here inside the project-domain instead of the team-domain panel is for redirection.
The default cname redirect config is also locked by Vercel, same as the above “default DNS records”.

Hi, @aboveyunhai!

Welcome to the Vercel Community! Glad that you’re here

The config is correct so the error is misleading and counter against the warning from the domain dashboard side.

That error is entirely expected. You can’t delete the default records, but you can overwrite them, which you’ve done successfully. The invalid configuration message is also expected since you’ve pointed your DNS away from Vercel.

If you don’t want the domain on your Vercel project, you should delete it from your project settings. If it’s not pointing to us, there’s no need to leave it on the project since it’s not active.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions.
