How domains are attributed here
A domain counts towards Azure DNS when one of its nameservers ends in one of these suffixes. Matching is on the name in the zone's NS records only — nothing is resolved or fetched. Listed by weight, which is the order the classifier tries them in so a specific suffix beats a broader one.
| Nameserver suffix | Weight |
|---|---|
| azure-dns.com | 10 |
| azure-dns.info | 10 |
| azure-dns.net | 10 |
| azure-dns.org | 10 |
