Azure custom domain name with NetworkSolutions DNS

I'm having trouble setting up my domain purchased from networksolutions.com to azurewebsites.net or cloudapp.net.

Here are some of the resources I'm using, so far with no success. The instructions are varied and I also suspect that network solutions does not allow for the correct settings.

Has any body set up successfully with network solutions?

Configure custom domain name

Custom DNS website

!!UPDATE!! Thanks to the answer.. here are the CORRECT NetworkSolution DNS settings to get you plugged into azurewebsites.net

Azure settings... enter image description here

I have Found a nice step by step tutorial (azure web app + network solutions), same steps but a bit more detailed (including a simple tool to check your domain settings):

http://loldemar.azurewebsites.net/custom-domain-name-in-azure-using-network-solutions/

Basic steps:

  • Go to azure web app, go to configure tab, and choose manage domains, from there copy the IP address that is bellow this message (Help for IP Address THE IP ADDRESS TO USE WHEN YOU CONFIGURE A RECORDS)

  • Go to network solutions (advanced DNS Settings) in your Add IPAddress on your IP Address A Records (@).

    • The go to cname records and add

awverify.yoursitenamehere.net 7200 awverify.yourazuresitename.azurewebsites.net. awverify.www.yoursitenamehere.net 7200 awverify.yourazuresitename.azurewebsites.net. www.yoursitenamehere.net 7200 yourazuresitename.azurewebsites.net.

  • Now go back to azure, click again manage domains, and add your domain names (yoursitename.net and www.yoursitename.net)

You need to edit the DNS Zone file. Check this link and this link.

The exact steps to setup a Custom Domain is as follows

  1. Go to DNS Zone file and add a CNAME for domains like www.example.com or mysite.example.com. Add a DNS Record ( C-Record ) - "www" : "mygreateazuresite.azurewebsites.net"

  2. Then come to Azure portal, in the Custom Domain Option, put the complete URL [ www.example.com ]

  3. The process to set up custom domain for both Azure Websites and Azure Cloud Services are very similar
