Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When attempting to setup netbird using the internal traefik option, i can follow through the setup just fine including placing netbird on vpn.x.com. However, this now means when i want to add an entry i need to place it on *.vpn.x.com. Whilst there is support for custom domains to an extent it doesnt solve a core problem.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to place netbird on vpn.x.com and then be able to place other services on a.x.com or b.x.com. Importantly, I cannot place netbird on x.com as this is where my orgs landing page lives.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I currently use external traefik to get around this, but this has led to the issue here https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/5830

That setup works fine using traefik by setting up y.x.com as the proxy and later on adding x.com as a custom domain

Any specific dns record for subdomains of x.com should have priority over the wildcard, but keep in mind that any device where the wildcard dns record has been cached won't get new specific ones until the cache expires

I've just tested this setup out and it seems to work fine for subdomains of x.com which is great. However I also need to put a service on just x.com. This is getting stuck on "Issuing certificate...", and the domain isnt working.

I have CNAME records setup for *.x.com to route to y.x.com hence why the subdomains work. I also added a CNAME record for just x.com to route to y.x.com, however this still gives the same problem as above.
