Does anyone know if this is possible? Browsing around on the internet I found out that it had been put on the roadmap but that was quite a way back. Has anyone achieved this? It seems odd that such a big player in the hosting industry doesn't offer this, as AWS does.
Also, I'm talking about reverse dns on virtual machines not the ip addresses of cloud services. I assumed it was something to do on the configuration of the linux machine, since the virtual machines have root access I thought this may have been possible, although struggling to find info on it.
It looks like Reverse DNS feature is planned but I was not able to find more details on any timeline / planned release date.
You can find out more on those features on Provide Reverse DNS for the Azure Virtual Machines as well as reverse DNS lookup proposals on Windows Azure Feature Voting website.
EDIT
As pointed out by #franzo, Windows Azure platform now support reverse DNS records at no additional cost. Reverse DNS support is for all PaaS and IaaS Cloud Services. You can find out more about that feature on Announcing: Reverse DNS for Azure Cloud Services.

Hi i was discussing the "on premises data-gateway" with a colleague and we where discussing whether the gateway had to be installed in every instance of a on premises system or it only had to be installed in one throughout the network for the system.
We had some different understanding regarding the documentation specified.
He understood it that installing it on a test server/instance it would be able to reach a database in another "virtual" system in that server.
I had the one understanding that it should be installed in every virtual system where you have a DB you want to reach?
Is there any clarification around this that we have missed?
Hope i made myself somewhat clear on what i'm asking? And please excuse the question if its written in clear text somewhere, we both must have missed it, if so sorry for that...
as per document although intended for analysis services, which is practically the same with other services as well,
source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-gateway
The on-premise data gateway needs to be installed for each instance of Azure Analysis Services server. In short, if you have two servers that connects to on-premise data sources, you will need two data gateway as well.
In this premise, we both have the same understanding that it needs to be installed for each instance that you need to connect.

My company is integrating with this company to enable us both consume services built on each other's platform to provide joint services extended to external users.
They recently sent me a file containing their VPN configuration with spaces provided to enter ours as well. Now I am not so savvy about VPNs plus our server is hosted in an Azure VM (windows server 2012 R2). I don't know if our hosting arrangement is VPN-ready by default. How am I supposed to go about this?
Any helpful articles or guidance is a welcome boon at this time.
PS.
My knowledge on networking is next to nothing. Just know the basest of things there.
there are two options to create the VPN to your cloud infrastructure:
1) By external services like OpenVPN - in that case, your involvement into what should be done will be to open some endpoints. Tutorials are available.
2) By internal service called Virtual Network. In that case, you should first place your VM to the Virtual Network, and then use tutorial. As the networking is a big topic, i would propose you to read the official tutorial instead of putting that information here.
So, basically, to get your VM ready for the VPN, you should:
1) Create Virtual Network
2) Place the VM into that VN
3) Configure both cloud and local gateways
4) Install the VPN client.

Currently for a company dedicated hosting server, there are a large amount of 403 errors being generated by the company IP for a specific website, while no one from the company is accessing that site. There are a large number of client sites, as well as a staging site hosted on this server, to which the hosting company locked out the company with the reason "a brute force attack was launched from IP address ... (the company IP)". Is there any way the IP could be used by an outside source, or would there be some software, malware, or general error that could be causing this? I'm far from a security expert, and at a loss while the hosting company is not able to give clear answers other than to offer to disable their "mod_security firewall".
Thanks!
You should be able to track on your companies firewall (outbound) what local machines are spamming this external server with requests.
The 403 is just a bi-product of a different problem - the spamming appears to be the root problem. 403 is showing because the request is likely to be malformed and not accepted by the hosted web server.
It is not possible to "steal" an IP when talking about TCP/IP so if the hosting provider detected that it is true.
If you have no firewall where to monitor that and the head of IT thinks does not think that getting one is a good idea..... Go to http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ and start looking for another.

Is it possible to have multiple websites load balanced with traffic manager on say 2 or more webserver vm's in Azure? and if so, how does traffic manager get setup so that it can monitor each website service as opposed to the server itself?
It seems like it can only monitor the port on the webserver, so this implies that traffic manager will only work if one website is running on each webserver.
Can someone clear this up for me?
Thanks in advance.
It depends on what you mean by webserver. Windows Azure Traffic Manager (WATM) is intended for 2 different deployments in 2 different datacenters. Using WATM you can achieve your goal. The setup would be like:
www.myapp1.com -> myapp1.trafficmanager.net -> {endpoints in multiple datacenters}:{port for myapp1 health probe}
www.myapp2.com -> myapp2.trafficmanager.net -> {the same endpoints as myapp1}:{port for myapp2 health probe}
However, if you are referring to 2 webservers as in 2 different VMs in the same datacenter then you would just add them both to load balancer set and configure the LB probes for each site.

I am having problems setting up a custom domain (purchased on GoDaddy.com) with an Azure virtual machine (on which I plan on running multiple websites.) I've setup some Endpoints (80 for Http and 443 for SSL) I am using the CNAME of myvm.cloudapp.net and I set the binding in the VM IIS to my Azure VM INTERNAL IP ADDRESS. Voila, it all works. The problem is that Azure will change this IP every once in a while...so my question is, is there a better way to set this up so that I don't have to worry about IP address changes?
The search keyword you are looking for is "dynamic DNS".
Set up a dynamic DNS account somewhere (e.g. http://www.noip.com/free/, or DynDns, there are many others). You will get a host name from them, and some client software that you run that keeps their DNS servers updated (some routers have dynamic-dns clients built in to their hardware as well). Then add a CNAME entry for your real domain/subdomain that points to your dynamic dns host name. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS for a general overview.
Your DNS provider may also have their own dynamic DNS client software that just works with their service - ask them if they support dynamic DNS (or search on their support site). Personally, I skip the middle men and just use ZoneEdit's nameservers (http://www.zoneedit.com/dynamicDNS.html, not free) for all DNS services. They have dynamic DNS support.
