You have registered a custom domain name named tailspintoys.com with a third-party domain registrar. You plan to host the DNS records for the domain in Azure DNS. You need to configure the domain delegation to Azure DNS and verify that name resolution works. Which sequence of steps should you perform?
- 1Create a public DNS zone named tailspintoys.com in your Azure subscription.
- 2Locate the four authoritative name server (NS) values assigned to the newly created Azure DNS zone.
- 3Update the delegation settings at the third-party domain registrar with the retrieved Azure DNS name servers.
- 4Add a resource record to the zone and verify external name resolution using a DNS query tool.
Answer
To delegate your custom domain to Azure DNS, first create a public DNS zone for the domain in Azure, retrieve the assigned authoritative name servers, configure those name servers at your external domain registrar, and then add a record and test resolution.
To delegate a domain to Azure DNS, you must first create the public DNS zone in Azure DNS. This generates the authoritative name servers. Next, you copy these name server addresses from the Azure portal. After that, you configure the domain registrar to use these Azure name servers instead of the registrar's default name servers. Finally, you create a record and test resolution to verify the setup.

Key Concept
Delegating a custom domain to Azure DNS requires creating the public zone in Azure DNS first to get the authoritative name servers, updating the third-party registrar's records, and verifying name resolution.
