title: Assign Custom Domain A Record to Traffic Manager DNS Name
body: <p>I have two Cloud Services</p>
  
  <p><strong>service1.cloudapp.net</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>service2.cloudapp.net</strong></p>
  
  <p>each cloud service is having 1 VM with their own Public IP</p>
  
  <p>each VM is running a website.</p>
  
  <p><strong>VM1 IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>VM2 IP is zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz</strong></p>
  
  <p>Now i have created a Round Robin Traffic Manager (xyzrobin.trafficmanager.net) to which I have assigned two end points pointing to each of the cloud services (service1 and service2). </p>
  
  <p>Now i want to assign my Domain name xyz.com to the traffic manager <strong>xyzrobin.trafficmanager.net</strong> but the DNS manager is not allowing me to add and is asking for an IP address for the A record.</p>
  
  <p>After studying online a lot I created one CNAME record www for xyz.com and assigned the xyzrobin.trafficmanager.net to it</p>
  
  <p><strong>CNAME</strong> ---- <strong>www</strong> ---- <strong>xyzrobin.trafficmanager.net</strong></p>
  
  <p>also another record as this</p>
  
  <p><strong>A</strong> ---- <strong>xyz.com</strong> ---- <strong>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</strong> (VM1 IP)</p>
  
  <p>now if i type in browser xyz.com i am taken to VM1 and when i type www.xyz.com i am taken to best selection among VM1 and VM2 via traffic manager.</p>
  
  <p>How do i set the xyz.com to go through the traffic manager.</p>
  
  <p>please help me out.</p>
