I need to run a Web Role in azure compute emulator under domain name rather than localhost ip address (127.0.0.1). I can configure my project run regular web app on local IIS, so I can use actual domain name rather than development server ip addresses...
My application is very url specific because i use subdomains to define States (US States). For example, i need azure emulator to use something like: http://wa.myapp.net, but not http://127.0.0.1 which doesn't make sense to me.
I have a lot of features that relay on sub-domains in my url. With regular web app I can configure this to run on IIS and set the url in my project (and bindings in IIS), but I don't see any way how I can do it in azure emulator.
Right now I have a work around. I just configured my local IIS to point to the application folder, I can run my app and then just attach my visual studio to iis process. But in this case some features don't work because azure role is not running... so it doesn't quite solve the problem...
Please, need an advice.
Thanks!
