Hello. I am setting up Traffic Manager in my Azure Site Recovery environment by following the following blog:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/reduce-rto-by-using-azure-traffic-manager-with-azure-site-recovery/
I'm confused as it relates to setting up the CNAME and A records.
I have a web application we'll call cons.domain.com that resides in my on premise data center. I want to setup traffic manager to failover to the Azure instance in the event on prem in unavailable.
Created Traffic Manager Profile - cons.domain.trafficmanager.net
Added two external endpoints - cons.domain.com (primary) and domaincscons.cloudapp.net (Azure instance)
What records do I need to add in public DNS? If I add a CNAME of cons.domain.com to point atcons.domain.trafficmanager.net, I can't add an A record for cons.domain.com to point at the on prem site. I'm missing something obviously, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
