I'm new to Azure. I'm trying to set up a Traffic Manager in order to DNS load balance between two endpoints. I have created a Traffic Manager with two endpoints with subnet routing. In order to test it, I looked up my public IP address and provided the CIDR range which contains my IP to one of the endpoint's subnet config. But somehow, my DNS lookup does not resolve to the intended target. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if my understanding of Azure Traffic Manager with subnet routing is incorrect.

I also have two follow up questions and would love to have answers to them as well.

  1. Are the endpoints configured ordered?

  2. Currently, it says that I can only configure 20 ranges by default. Is there a way to increase that limit?

How to resolve the above issue ?
