Azure custom domain not accepted (awverify cname)
I am having a problem setting up a custom domain on an Azure website. Azure Website http://gbyers.azurewebsites.net Custom Domain I Own http://gordon.byers.me
I set cname so that Azure can verify that I have a domain. This is what the dns settings look like.
awverify.byers.me@8.8.4.4 (Default):
awverify.byers.me. 13871 IN CNAME awverify.gbyers.azurewebsites.net.
azurewebsites.net. 1271 IN SOA prd1.azuredns-cloud.net. msnhst.microsoft.com.azurewebsites.net. 2031967751 900 300 604800 3600
awverify.gordon.byers.me@8.8.4.4 (Default):
awverify.gordon.byers.me. 14364 IN CNAME awverify.gbyers.azurewebsites.net.
azurewebsites.net. 1799 IN SOA prd1.azuredns-cloud.net. msnhst.microsoft.com.azurewebsites.net. 2031968612 900 300 604800 3600
awverify.www.byers.me@8.8.4.4 (Default):
awverify.www.byers.me. 13871 IN CNAME awverify.gbyers.azurewebsites.net.
azurewebsites.net. 1799 IN SOA prd1.azuredns-cloud.net. msnhst.microsoft.com.azurewebsites.net. 2031968612 900 300 604800 3600
That everything looks good to me.
However, Azure is giving me the following error:
The DNS record for 'gordon.byers.me' that points to "gbyers.azurewebsites.net" could not be found. If you want to customize an A record, you must first create a CNAME record with your DNS provider for 'awverify.gordon.byers.me', which points to 'Awverify.gbyers.azurewebsites.net. First, allow the resource record to be distributed and then create an A record.
I created CNAME records about 16 hours ago, I know DNS A records can sometimes take their time to expire / protagonize .. but the TTL on CNAME is usually pretty low.
Does anyone have any bright ideas for me, or should I just wait 48 hours and stop being so impatient?

I paid for developer support to get Microsoft on the case, as I think I was doing it right.
£ 20 and a phone call later, the issue is with the Azure Management Portal.
Using the new portal https://portal.azure.com/ works without issue, whereas using https://manage.windowsazure.com does not work.
Now I have custom domains set up. :)
