Hello! We faced with such a problem: we use the root domain as the address to our service. We use cloudflare as DNS. We added several Cname records with the root domain, but unfortunately your service cannot determine it. Please tell us how we can fix the problem.

- Check that Azure Front Door is properly configured: Check that Azure Front Door is configured correctly to handle requests to your service. Check that the correct backend pool, routing rules, and frontend host names are specified in the Front Door configuration.
- Instead of a CNAME record, try using an A record: Because Azure Front Door does not support root CNAME records, an A record may be required instead. Rather than a CNAME record pointing to another domain name, create an A record that points directly to the IP address of your service.
- Use a subdomain instead of the root domain: Another option for your service is to use a subdomain instead of the root domain. This would entail creating a new DNS record for the subdomain and configuring Azure Front Door to route traffic to it rather than the root domain.

I understand that you would like to onboard a root domain to Azure Front Door.
Is my understanding correct? If not, do let us know.
- Are you using Classic or Standard/Premium Front Door?
- Please make sure your DNS Zone provider supports CNAME Flattening
- Can you check the DNS resolution working from https://www.digwebinterface.com/ ?
- Can you please tell us in which step are you exactly facing the problem here?
- If your validation state is in "Pending", did you add a TXT record to your DNS Zone?

Cheers,
