Not sure if I understand you correctly, but what you usually do is to
configure the NS records with the FQDN of the hostname, and then you
add the glue records as A & AAAA records. An exmaple:


```
@       NS      ns1.example.com         86400
@       NS      ns2.example.com         86400

ns1     A       127.0.0.1               86400
ns2     A       127.0.0.1               86400
```

Did you try that? Cause then `libre.` will have both the NS record and
the A/AAAA record for the nameservers. And afterwards, all requests
will be forwarded to your nameserver.

What you describe with using a CNAME value as the NS record is
prohibited by RFC2181:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2181#section-10.3

Then again: if you configure your records properly, you first will have
a retention period of 7 days, then 30 days, and then it stays up for a
year. But I cannot find any official documentation on this on the wiki.
Would help to have a page on the wiki to point out the exact policies.

Cheers,
Max
