You can use Azure DNS to host your custom external DNS domain and have Azure DNS manage your DNS records. Since you are the owner of the domain, your custom domain registrar offers you the option to configure the name server (NS) records for your domain.
Configuration Steps:
Step 1 - Create the DNS Zone
In your Azure portal, search for DNS zone > then create,
In the Create DNS zone page:
Basic tab:
Populate the subscription and Resource group fields,
This zone is a child of an existing zone already hosted in Azure DNS > uncheck this checkbox since your custom DNS zone is not a child zone in Azure DNS,
Name > Enter your custom DNS zone name,
Resource group location > The resource group location does not actually affect your DNS zone service, as DNS is a global service and is not in fact bound to a location,
Review > Create,
Step 2 - Retrieve the name servers
To be able to delegate your DNS zone to Azure DNS, you need to update the name servers for your custom zone at your custom domain provider. Azure DNS provides name servers from a pool each time a zone is created.
In your Azure portal > search for dns zone,
DNS zones, select your custom DNS zone,
In the Overview page of your custom DNS zone, retrieve the name servers
Step 3 - Delegate the domain
Now go to your custom domain provider to update your custom domain with the Azure provided DNS name servers. Each domain provider has its own DNS management tools to change the name server records for a domain.
Edit the NS records and replace the NS records with the Azure DNS provided name servers,
Add all four name servers > make sure you copy the trailing period at the end of the address.(The trailing period indicates the end of a fully qualified domain name.)
Step 4 - Create A record
Create a new DNS record in your new DNS zone for your web app endpoint public ip address.
To find your web app public ip address > go to Web App > custom domain > grab the public ip address.
Go to your Azure DNS zone:
+ Record set > lets create a new A-record,
Step 4 - Verify the name resolution
After you complete the delegation, you can verify that it’s working by using a tool such as nslookup.
Open powershell and run the following
nslookup wwww.yourdomain.com <yourownns-server.azure-dns.com.>you should get a resonse back with your name and your web app’s public ip addy.
