I have a website that forwards the domain (embarke.com) to www.embarke.com based on the instructions from Steve Marx http://blog.smarx.com/posts/custom-domain-names-in-windows-azure. This works great, but now I need to add support for https. I have configured my project for https and when I navigate tohttps://www.embarke.com it works great, buthttps://embarke.com does not forward properly and simply times out. GoDaddy support said that thier forwarding servers do not support this and that I should create an A record in my DNS to point directly to the server IP. I suspect that this will work, but I would rather not do this in case the VIP changes.
Is my best option to create and A record to forward to the VIP or is there something else that I can do?
