I have created a VM to be as IIS server for a website, so I installed DNS and IIS.
I created also the zone and A records which was enough to resolve the domain in my On-prime server.
Then I created an Azure DNS zone ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/dns/dns-domain-delegation
Here are the records of the Azure DNS Zone
the NS and SOA records are the defaults and the two A records I created myself.
What do I need further? to resolve the domain to the Azure server? I tested the website inside the VM it is working locally good, so it is a problem isin DNS and IP.
I mean, the website is not resolving even if I wrote the IP:port it will not open the website
what is the problem ??
Note: while I'm installing DNS on the VM it says that it is noticed that there is no Public IP assigned and it was advising to assign Public IP, but I thought that is because the DNS service only is reading the local IP of the VM which is like 10.0.0.4
I think there is a virtual adapter which is leading to the public... or do I need to assign the public IP in the NIC of the VM ??
As I understand it, you can't get your public dns to resolve to the input type A www address, after placing input did you wait for the propagation time? You can use https://dnschecker.org/ to see propagation.
Hi!
Try to add @ and * with type A and point to the VM’s IP Address, wait for propagation (but you can add a entry in the hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, to make a test)
Get in touch if you need more help with this issue.

Where do you mean to add this A record?
In Azure Dns or the VM dns?
Azure DNS
Thank you Martin , it was part of the solution.
the main reason of the
no resolving" was because I did not allow the port in the firewall of the portal
Thanks @Jackson Martins for your reply, Yes I have waited the proper time but not responding
Regarding A www record, OK, I deleted it and remains only the default records.
The dnschecker.org test showing no propagation at all, this is the problem
Even If I try to visit IP:port, it should give me the website but it is not.
My question is, when I created Azure DNS Zone, How the zone will know that I want to refer to my Azure VM ?
I put Azure Name servers (from Azure zone) under the domain (in the registrar)
But how Azure zone will know that my server is this certain VM ? that's why I put A record with my VM-Public_ip , but I removed
If I tryed >> nslookup -type=SOA contoso.com (replacing my domain)
It is Giving :
Server: Unknown
IP: The IP of DNS server of the VM (I think that's good)
So why it is not working?
Should I remove DNS service from the VM and let azure DNS work alone ?
just for my understanding,
did you follow this whole tutorial too?Is your problem the zone delegation or the address resolution of your site?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-domain-delegation
Tks
Yes I flollowed it , That's why nslookup -type=SOA contoso.com giving the right Server IP regardless the server name which shown as Unknown.
May I need to assign the public IP on the NIC not enough the Virtual network ?
