I'm stuck with a problem I guess many of you suffered before and I'm trying to solve it my way without moving from Amazon Route 53 DNS services to another DNS provider.
I host two applications in two different cloud platforms (one private cloud platform and Windows Azure) and I have the same scenario in both.
Basically, I need to map my domain (let's say foo.com) to foo.cloudapp.net as well as www.foo.com to foo.cloudapp.net. The problem is that Amazon only let you do that if you host your application in their servers and not in others (you can see FAQ questions starting with "Can I point my zone apex (example.com versus www.example.com) ..." being answered with a Yes!). Well, my question should be the next question on the FAQ and by now is being answered with a No. I read several answers on the internet saying that if they do that they wouldn't be following DNS spec but they DO NOT follow the Spec if you host on Amazon so my question: what do I have to do to solve this issue about mapping the Zone apex to a CNAME or URL not to an IP as nowadays almost no one uses IP addresses.
I know that I can move to another DNS servers and then problem solve! but I found none of the services charge you by month and as cheap and user friendly and secure as Amazon...
Any help?
Thanks!
