DNS Lookup Time in Windows Azure

I have a domain(say, www.xxx.com). My domain is on GoDaddy.com. My GoDaddy domain is point my azure domain, (say, myapp.cloudapp.net). But I am getting DNS lookup delay from 400 to 800 millisecond. If I browse myapp.cloudapp.net directly then it will take nearly 100 millisecond for DNS lookup. Why I am getting this big difference? How can minimized this difference?

I haven't seen that difference in my own deployments, but I do a few things to make life easier:

  1. I make the DNS entries very sparse (GoDaddy DNS records thro in a lot of gunk)
  2. I set the A record to the resolved IP of the server
  3. I set any subdomains to be simply @ records, rather than a unique IP
  4. I host most of my Azure properties in their Anywhere US data center, which I believe is relatively physically close to GoDaddy's own DNS servers.

Hope this Helps
