Pointing nameservers through multiple providers

Question

I wanted to know if such a scenario is possible:

• I have a domain hosted in GoDaddy - say example.com
• I go to Cloudflare, create that domain, take the nameservers, and configure them in GoDaddy
• I go to AWS Route53, create hosted zone, take 4x NS records that were generated and insert them in Cloudflare as NS records separately

So its: GoDaddy -> Cloudflare -> AWS Route53

And now - should I be able to manage my domains via AWS Route53?

Answer 1

I figured it out and it seems that doing what I described above is impossible for the root domain, like example.com.

Meaning that if in my domain registrar I point to different Nameservers for example.com only those are valid and I cannot configure NS records for example.com further. So:

1. I buy example.com at GoDaddy -> all good
2. I login to Cloudflare, add new domain, receive Nameservers: a.ns.cloudflare.com and b.ns.cloudflare.com -> all good
3. I go to GoDaddy and configure Nameservers to be those from point 2 -> all good
4. Now I login to AWS, go to AWS Route53 and generate HostedZone for example.com. I receive 4 Nameservers: a.aws.com, ... d.aws.com -> all good
5. Now I go to Cloudflare example.com domain records and try to configure the 4x NS records for those four I got from Route53 -> thats NOT good

In point 5 this is not going to work.

However!

It is possible with subdomains. So if in point 4. I would have created HostedZone for test.example.com I would have been able to go to Cloudflare and point test.example.com with NS records to those 4x Nameservers that I get from Route53 and manage test.example.com and *.test.example.com from Route53.

If I am wrong in anything please correct me!
