How to setup root domain ( example.com ) to point to Azure DNS zone? I am not sure whether it is because of propagation lag, but if I try to access example.com ( for example here ), it gives me unknown host.
My Steps:
- Created the Azure DNS Zone for the example.com.
- Created the www.example.com DNS zone.
- Delegated subdomain to Azure DNS zone created in step #1 above for www Name server record.
- Logged in to domain registrar and updated the 4 name servers of step 1 DNS Zone name servers as shared by portal.azure.com.
Note: It is 4-5 hours now and even now, accessing example.com ( dummy ) gives me unknown host. I tried the following as well and details are as below:-
a. Ping
List item
example.com => Gives following: C:\Users\GURU>ping example.com Ping request could not find host example.com. Please check the name and try again.
b. Telnet example.com on port 13782 but Couldntfind .. message.
c. nslookup gives below:
C:\Users\GURU>nslookup DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. Default Server: UnKnown Address: fd00::1
set querytype=soa example.com Server: UnKnown Address: fd00::1 DNS request timed out.
But, I find the DIG and intoDNS showing all good, properly set the nameservers on registrar panel. I am not sure if I am missing anything.
Using DIG tool, https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames={changed_abc.com}&type=&ns=resolver&useresolver=8.8.4.4&nameservers=
changed_me.com. 299 IN SOA ns1-05.azure-dns.com. azuredns-hostmaster.microsoft.com. 1 3600 300 2419200 300
Hoping I did all right, and validating on anything I could have missed. Please suggest , if any.
