Speaking of moving a site to Azure, has anybody here tried to synchronize an on-premise site with one in the cloud in case the on-premise site goes down for some reason? If so, then what have they done to accomplish it?

I needed to add both domain names to Azure focuswestproperty.com.au<http://focuswestproperty.com.au> as well as www.focuswestproperty.com.au<http://www.focuswestproperty.com.au> To do that, I had to add a second (already had one for the naked domain) CNAME for the awverify.focuswestproperty.azurewebsites.net<http://awverify.focuswestproperty.azurewebsites.net> One CNAME of awverify.focuswestproperty.com.au<http://awverify.focuswestproperty.com.au> and the other awverify.www.focuswestproperty.com.au<http://awverify.www.focuswestproperty.com.au> (both pointing to the same awverify url) I did try adding the www but it won't let you until you have the CNAME added for the verify url. Hope that helps someone else one day :) On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 6:02 PM, Stephen Price <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: focuswestproperty.com.au<http://focuswestproperty.com.au> I've just tried removing my CNAME for www pointing to focuswestproperty.com.au<http://focuswestproperty.com.au> and adding an A record pointing at the IP. Its been so long since I did any domain stuff and have forgotten it all. Guess its time to find a good walkthrough to refresh my memory what I need.

The name resolves so i'm thinking it is something on azure I need to configure? I'm also using CloudFlare and am not sure if thats the way to go with Azure sites. Is it going to hurt any? Wondering if Azure has any of its own CDN going on and if its needed anymore. I guess if it cuts down on traffic from the site then its less likely to hit any limits and get me a bill. cheers, Stephen
