### Limitations

* Digitalocean DNS doesn't support `;` value with CAA-records ([DigitalOcean documentation](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/dns/how-to/create-caa-records/))
* While Digitalocean DNS supports TXT records with multiple strings, their length is limited by the max API request of 512 octets.
