      CNAME

      A CNAME record maps a specific domain, such as contoso.com or http://www.contoso.com, to a canonical domain name. In this case, the canonical domain name is the [myapp].cloudapp.net domain name of your Azure hosted application. Once created, the CNAME creates an alias for the [myapp].cloudapp.net. The CNAME entry will resolve to the IP address of your [myapp].cloudapp.net service automatically, so if the IP address of the cloud service changes, you do not have to take any action.

    I’m wondering if the answer for this is MX Record, because it says “a DNS record type that will ALLOW you to CONFIGURE access..” it’s not saying a record to direct queries with the custom domain, that would 100% be CNAME or A record.
    An MX record is used to verify the custom domain, which you must to in order to allow you to configure access via the custom domain name.

    Cheeky bastards…
