Default @ DNS record in Office 365 creation
Hi Experts,
In Office 365 when you make your nameservers the office 365 ones.
How do you add a dns record so that if someone goes to your website at a 3rd party but does not use the www, how do you do it?
eg:
if you want to go to www.domain.com and domain.coms website lives at 1.2.3.4 you just create a A record called www and point it to 1.2.3.4 in the DNS management area in office 365
That then works fine. so if someone goes to http://www.domain.com it works.
But how do you make the DNS make it so that the website is resolved if you go to http://domain.com
I tried creating a A record called @ but that did not work.
Any ideas??

Strangely enough, that worked today. yet didn't the other day.
just added in a A record called @ and pointed it to the public IP of website.
maybe Office 365 DNS manager is flakey as you say.
