DNS - Multiple Root TXT Records

My email provider has requested that I add the following DNS entries:

@ 600 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.myemailproivder.com mx ~all"
@ 600 IN TXT "verification=128763812763817638163"

However, my DNS host, Gandi, doesn't allow multiple TXT records with the same name.

Can anyone suggest an alternative way of maintaining both of the above DNS records?

I've tried using:

mydomain.com 600 IN TXT ...

but this doesn't work (presumably resolving to mydomain.com.mydomain.com)

I also tried:

mydomain.com. 600 IN TXT ...

but Gandi won't allow the dot after the name.

I had the same issue. I went to expert mode and added the TXT line manually:

@ 300 IN TXT "verification=128763812763817638163"
@ 300 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.myemailproivder.com mx ~all"

this should do it. Once back in normal mode both TXT entries show up

Adding:

@ 600 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.myemailproivder.com mx ~all verification=128763812763817638163"

(as per Frank Sixteen's comment) seems to allow the record to be detected and passed by online SPF verifiers — albeit with some reporting invalid syntax for the additional verification string.
