Hello, i am a newbie to windows azure service and now evaulate set up "DNS hosting" server in Azure. Currently I have DNS server (OS: fedora fc 11) with public routable WAN IP (i.e. 123.12.12.12) in my datacenter and it hosts serveral my clients' internet dns records:
For example. the server hosts domain "abc.net" and have below records:
i) NS (Name Server) record: ns.abc.net --> ip: 123.12.12.12 (the dns server itself)
ii) www record : www.abc.net --> ip 124.123.14.2
1) Is it possible setup "DNS hosting" server in Windows Azure?
2) For the IP setting, the server i trial in windows azure obtain ip address automatically:
i.) can i assign static ip address to VM guest? Since static ip address is required for NS query, the NS record MUST not be change/lost, otherwise other DNS client will have problem in query
ii.) what circumstances will lead to ip address lost/change.
3) Which OS I can selected for the server ?
4) Any documents/KB addressed for topic of DNS hosting in Azure?
Thanks in advance in your response.
Best wishes
Ben
