How to map a wildcard domain to a Windows Azure Website instance?

When creating a "web app" it is common to use a wildcard domain and have each client or instance of the web app on its own sub domain. Windows Azure does this themselves, for example "yourwebsite.windowsazure.net". For some unknown reason, wildcard subdomain support seems to not be there for Windows Azure Websites. I'm very frustrated with this fact, so much so as to abandon Windows Azure all together.

Is there a work around to not having to manually enter every domain name individually that you want authorized? Is there an API for this? I have a particularly hairy requirement in that I have over 100,000 sub domains I would need to do this for before I could even consider moving to Azure.

Please look deeply into this issue if you attempt to answer it as I have already and saw no other option other than manually entering through the portal.

I suspect that you're right, and that Windows Azure Web Sites don't support this. You could, however, use a Cloud Service with a web role.
