I need to add an MX record into the app domain name purchased thru Azure portal.
The default form to add a record set adds the .domainname after the mx record name.
The problem is that Network solutions says the MX record name must be mx1.netsolmail.net. (So in the portal it becomes mx1.netsolmail.net.domainname.com which is not what I need)
How can I add a record set in my DNS zone for that domain that doesn't end in the domain name?
Per the answer below I changed the settings to the following
When you purchase a domain in the app service domain page, you actually have a new domain provider because App Service Domains use GoDaddy for domain registration and Azure DNS to host the domains.
If I am understanding it correctly, you would like to have an email delivered on your app domain name through Network Solutions but keep your domain through Azure. If so, you could refer to this Mailbox Setup and configuration to change/edit your MX and CNAME records in the Azure DNS zone.
Try to change the MX record to inbound.[domain name].netsolmail.net if your domain name was janesbagels.com, your Mail Server record would look like inbound.janesbagels.com.netsolmail.net. Also, you could change the other two CNAME records mail and SMTP.

I am trying to configure Auth0 custom domains with my azure web application. It is asking for a CNAME Record to be set.
I set this up in azure with a provided dns name, and set up the values as such:
but the verify button still does not work. i heard you may need to wait a few days for it to settle, but i waited all weekend with no luck. i saw in this post i may want to remove the NS and SOA types?
Wildcard and Naked CNAME records in Azure DNS
how can i verify this domain
As far as I know, you can not use the domain *.cloudapp.azure.com as the custom domain for your Auth0 as it is owned by Azure. You need to purchase a domain from the domain provider like Godaddy to configure your custom domain. Then you could validate that domain ownership.
You can't use Azure DNS to buy a domain name. Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. It's not necessary. You can selectly host your domain in Azure DNS.

I am trying to set up the routing for the Apex/root domain of my website(myrootdomain.eu) in Azure FrontDoor.
Reference :https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/frontdoor/front-door-how-to-onboard-apex-domain
Crated the Alias record with #.myrootdomain.eu in Azure DNS against the Azure resource as FrontDoor. A CNAME was created like this : afdverify.myrootdomain.eu
When i try adding the custom domain(myrootdomain.eu) into the frontend host of FrontDoor, it is giving the error CNAME record is not found. What additional step is required here .
Is there any setting or mapping to be done in my DNS 123domain or frontdoor for this domain : afdverify.myrootdomain.eu
What should be the mapping in domain provider (123domain in my case) for the naked domain(myrootdomain.eu) ?
Could not find any thing about that in the reference doc.
If you have hosted your domain in Azure DNS, (that is to edit the NS records and replace the NS records with the Azure DNS name servers in the registrar's DNS management page), you do not need to map in your original domain provider. It takes just a few seconds on my side to wait for the DNS taking place for the Apex/root domain in Azure Front Door.
After creating an alias record for zone apex, it creates a zone apex record pointing to your Front Door resource and also a CNAME record mapping 'afdverify' (example - afdverify.contosonews.com) to afdverify.<name>.azurefd.net.
If you have finished the above steps correctly, it usually takes some time for DNS propagation, you could check it via whatsmydns or viewdns. As the comment said, you can check if the CNAME is effective or not using nslookup or google dig tool.
How do I change the nameserver in a Microsoft Azure DNS Zone to be something else? I'd like to use Cloudflare for my nameservers instead of the default Azure ones.
As far as I know, you can not change Microsoft azure DNS name server. Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. But Azure DNS supports co-hosting domains with other DNS services.
To set up co-hosting, modify the NS records for the domain to point to the name servers of both providers. Read here.
For example, you can add name servers from Cloudflare in the additional name servers in the NS record on the Azure portal.
The Name Server (NS) update are done on the domain registrar side. In 'Azure DNS', Microsoft just manages the domain they are not the registrar.
If you want Cloud Flare to manage your domain the NS record needs to be change on the domain registrar side.
If you bought an Azure App Service Domain, you get a DNS Zone (mine didn't work properly, and that's how I got to my solution). You also get a second resource from the domain itself (the App Service Domain resource). If you there click on the tab Advanced Management portal you will be redirected to a different site. From there you can go to the DNS tab at the top, select Manage Zones and fill in the domain you want to control.
From there, scroll down, and you'll see something like this.
As you can see, there are two nameservers. Those nameservers point to Azures DNS system. But here, you can actually change the nameservers.
I have a domainname and webapp currently which I need to do a set up for the domain to point to my webapp server.
I only need to point to www.domainname.com to my Azure DNS zone and mail.domainname.com point to another email provider.
How can I do this?
I only need to point to www.domainname.com to my Azure DNS zone and
mail.domainname.com point to another email provider. How can I do
this?
Azure DNS zone works like the domain name manager, we can delegate your domain name to Azure DNS zone, then we can add A record to map www.domainname.com to your application.
About point mail.domainname.com tp another email provider, we can add mx record in your domain name management page.
Here A similar case about Azure DNS zone and custom domain name, please refer to it.
I'm having an issue with setting a custom wildcard domain on an Azure Website.
The azure website is demo.azurewebsites.net
And my custom domain is tenant1.demo.azurewebsites.net
I have done following steps : --
Step A:- Login into the portal.azure.com
Step B:- Then created zone with the following steps.
In this I filled all required information and select resource group as use existing. Because I have existing resource group. And click on create button.
C) After click on create button of above image it will show following image.
D) After that I crated record set. Please refer following image. I filled all information that required.
Name = *
Type = CNAME
TTL = 1
TTL unit = Hours
Alias = my existing domain
E) after that I created custom domain.
When I am going to create custom domain it show following error.
And my custom domain is tenant1.demo.azurewebsites.net
We can’t add subdomain to azurewebsites.net, because we are not the owner of azurewebsites.net.
Step B:- Then created zone with the following steps.
Until now, Azure doesn’t provide domain register service. Azure DNS Zone is used to host the DNS records for a particular domain. Azure DNS Service will answers DNS queries for records in the zone. It works as a name server. The prerequisites to use Azure DNS Zone is that you must be the owner of the domain. Please check the following note from Azure DNS Zone official document.
You do not have to own a domain name to create a DNS zone with that domain name in Azure DNS. However, you do need to own the domain to configure the Azure DNS name servers as the correct name servers for the domain name with the domain name registrar.
After you create a DNS Zone, to let the DNS record works, you also need to delegate your domain to Azure DNS by adding name server record in your domain register portal. Though you can add DNS record for demo.azurewebsites.net in your DNS zone as you mentioned in your post. But it won’t work until you have the right to configure the name server record in your domain register portal.
