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'm having issue configuring my DNS to make all traffic routed from the root domain (no www) to the Azure front door. The below is what I have done so far:
Create the front door (frontend/backend/routing)
On-Board my custom domain (let's say hello.com) on front door
Now as per Microsoft guide I have to add a CNAME record to the DNS hosting provider (domain.com) to route the traffic to front door. But I have been told by domain.com that I cannot have A record and CNAME record named #
So I've found this solution https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/frontdoor/front-door-how-to-onboard-apex-domain
Then I have created a DNS Zone on my Azure environment named "hello.com" and followed the guide.
Still I cannot see the traffic going through the front door.
Is that because I have 2 DNS servers? (one hosted on domain.com and another one on Azure)?
Can It be propagation time ?
Also how does azure know that I'm the owner of hello.com domain ?
As the linking document, to onboard a root or apex domain on your Front Door, you could use alias records in Azure DNS.
There are other DNS providers as well that support CNAME flattening or
DNS chasing, however, Azure Front Door recommends using Azure DNS for
its customers for hosting their domains.
If you select to use Azure DNS to host DNS domains, first you need to create an Azure DNS zone (hello.com) in Azure and delegate the domain to Azure DNS via changing the name server records for the domain in your original DNS registrar. You can verify the delegation by using a tool such as nslookup to query the Start of Authority (SOA) record for your zone. It can take up to 72 hours to propagate worldwide, although it typically takes a few hours.
Then, you can add an alias record for the zone apex in the DNS configuration for the domain to be onboarded. After this, you can add the apex domain name in the custom host name field on the Front Door designer tab.
To access your backend web app with the custom domain, ensure that you have created appropriate routing rules for your apex domain or added the domain to existing routing rules. Or, you may enable HTTPS on your custom domain.
I want to use my country domain which is mydomain.id after setting up in my azure DNS and domain provider, I still cannot validate my domain in App Service. I already double-check everything and I think my settings are already correct. Now I wonder can we use the Country domain in my azure DNS because I'm afraid if it's that the problem.
First of all, I assume you are using a public domain. As Martheen's comments mentioned that you just need to create DNS records to map your app service IP or hostname like webapp.azurewebsites.net in your DNS provider so that you can add custom domains in your App Service. This is tutorial.
Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. By hosting your domains in Azure, you can manage your DNS records by using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services. You have the option to host your records on Azure DNS.
After adding the DNS records, you can use the local tool nslookup or websites https://dnschecker.org/ to check the DNS propagation. It can take up to 72 hours to propagate worldwide, although it typically takes a few hours.
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 purchased a custom domain name through Azure, and it was correctly pointing to my Web App, and it was working. I subsequently deleted and recreated the Web app, and the underlying IP has changed. In order to associate the same domain name with the replacement app, Azure requires the CNAME to be set by the DNS provider. However, Azure is the DNS provider, and I can find no way to do this. I see lots of articles discussing how to manage the domain name once it is associated with the app, but not how do to manage it the gap between creation and association, which is the gap where I need to add the CNAME.
Take a look at this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/waws/archive/2014/10/01/mapping-a-sub-domain-to-an-azure-web-site.aspx
and this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-custom-domain-name/
Edit: Also, you could do what you are asking for through Powershell: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/dns-web-sites-custom-domain/
The problem occurs because the subscription was changed from a pay-as-you-go subscription to developer benefits subscription. The purchase of the domain name is tied to the subscription with it was purchased. Creating the App under the original subscription enables the management blade.
Did this recently, using "myfunkydomain.com" and "myfunkywebapp" as examples ..
Bought the domain through Azure ("Custom domain and SSL" blade on the WebApp) which you have already done.
The new "DNS preview" service allows you to create DNS Zones and then manage the subdomain recordsets - Create a new zone (I called "myfunkydomain.com" and take note of the 4 DNS servers allocated to the zone.
Then under "Custom domain and SSL" blade of your Web App select the new domain (myfunkydomain.com) under "Managed Domains" and then click the Advanced menu button - this will take you to a seperate site where you can delegate the domain to the 4 DNS servers from step 2. This is what you are missing I think. I took note of the current DNS servers before changing them (but have had no need to change them back)
Once delegated you can create CNAME recordsets under the DNS preview Zone and point the CNAME record to the full domain of your Web App myfunkywebapp.azurewebsites.net and you are in full control of the domain from the Azure portal. There is a WebApi for managing this whole process which we use to create new tenants of our domain programatically.
I am searching the documentation on how I can provide my own FQDN to my hosts in Azure but don't seem to find what I need. How are you all setting your FQDN so that you can access your different host systems by that name instead of name.cloudapp.net
I essentially want to access it by machine.domain.tld (where domain.tld is my own domain name)
What you are looking for is probably the support documentation regarding DNS Services and configuration of Azure Cloud services.
Microsoft Azure Support Pointers
I found a support article on the configuration of a custom domain name for an Azure Cloud Service.
I am not sure if you are asking about configuring DNS for a Web Site service, which looks like it has different instructions so choose appropriately.
Make Changes with Your Domain Registrar
Depending on whom you have registered your domain name with, you will need to set up a DNS A Record and a DNS CNAME to get what you need.
The "A Record" is where the domain.tld value is assigned. It will be the same as your cloud service public-ip. The machine name represented in your assigned DNS address is associated with a Domain C-Name record established with your Domain name Registrar and pointed to your A Record.
Follow the instructions to also configure your cloud service settings. Pointing the domain name to your cloud service will not be enough.
