Description

Using Amazon Route 53 DNS.
I already had a 'zepherin.com' TXT entry, so had to use the '@'.

$ dig -t TXT -q @.zepherin.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.30.rc1.el6_6.3 <<>> -t TXT -q @.zepherin.com

Reproduce the reported Route 53 TXT lookup with the provided dig command and compare its result with the DNS proof verification behavior. Trace how the verifier handles the @ record; done means the existing keybase-site-verification TXT record is accepted or the required record format is clearly identified.
