How do I add a second domain name to my primary domain using the Azure DNS?

I have my domain and DNS zone set up on Azure. I just bought a .net extension for one of the web sites. Now, there is no clear explanation on what to do now. I have used the existing nameserver of the primary domain. When I added the custom domain name to the azure active directory, it gave me a new TXT entry, which I added to the existing domain.

In one direction, the articles and videos I have seen suggest I add a CNAME entry, but Azure DNS won't let me add a "@".

Can someone let me know what is wrong, or suggest a working solution?

Thank you.

    Issue: How do I add a second domain name to my primary domain using the Azure DNS?

    Solution: there is no way to point the new domain extension to the primary domain without an IP address. Using an A record directs the new traffic to the web site, which I guess was the point.
