Azure DNS now provides DNS based load balancing by seamless
integration with Azure Traffic Manager. Customers can directly associate an
Azure DNS record set with a Traffic Manager profile, eliminating the need to
create a CNAME record pointing to the trafficmanager.net domain.
This integration reduces DNS lookup latency by removing the
additional CNAME lookup and enables DNSSEC compatibility for load-balanced
records by removing the unsigned trafficmanager.net domain from the DNS
resolution chain.
