How to map a wildcard domain to an instance of a Windows Azure website?

Question

When creating a "web application", a wildcard domain is usually used and each client or instance of the web application in its own subdomain. Windows Azure does this on its own, for example, "yourwebsite.windowsazure.net". For some unknown reason, support for wildcard subdomains does not seem to exist for Windows Azure websites. I am very upset by this fact, so much that I completely abandon Windows Azure.

Is there a need to not manually enter each domain name that you want to resolve? Is there an API for this? I have a particularly hairy requirement that I have over 100,000 subdomains that I will need to do before I even think about switching to Azure.

Carefully study this problem if you try to answer it as I said, and did not see any other option than manual entry through the portal.

Answer 1

I suspect that you are correct and that Windows Azure websites do not support this. However, you can use the Cloud Service with a web role.
