NIOS-X Server assignment to Azure DNS synced zone

Primary DNS Zones that sync with Azure DNS can be serviced by Universal DDI NIOS-X Servers that are running DNS. Once a NIOS-X Server has been assigned to an Azure DNS zone in the Infoblox Portal, the NIOS-X Server will be capable of resolving DNS queries for that zone without having to recurse to Azure DNS. NIOS-X Servers can be assigned to both public and private Azure DNS synchronized zones.

Steps to assign NIOS-X Server to an Azure synced zone:

1. Go to Configure > Networking > DNS.

2. Select the DNS view where your Azure DNS zones have been synced.

3. Select Azure DNS synced zone and click Edit.

4. Select the Authoritative DNS Servers drop-down.

5. Drag and drop the Universal DDI service instance(s) that you wish to have service the zone from left to right.

6. Click Save & Close.

NIOS-X Servers can be assigned to a zone in a similar fashion when creating a zone that also has a Third-party DNS provider assigned. The zone will be created in Infoblox Portal, pushed to the Universal DDI NIOS-X Server and synced to Azure DNS.  Future changes or edits performed in the Infoblox Portal or Azure DNS will be synchronized to all three entities (Infoblox Portal, NIOS-X Servers, and Azure DNS).
