No. The data path for NFS or SMB does not go over the Internet. Azure NetApp Files is an Azure native service that is deployed into the Azure Virtual Network (VNet) where the service is available. Azure NetApp Files uses a delegated subnet and provisions a network interface directly on the VNet.

No, Azure NetApp Files does not currently support deploying volumes in a dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) delegated subnet. The delegated subnet for the Azure NetApp Files service must be an IPv4-only subnet. However, Azure NetApp Files is accessible over IPv4 through a dual-stack subnet or (peered) VNet.

No. Azure VMware Solutions is behind an ER gateway, which makes it behave similar to on-premises systems. The number of AVS "Hosts" and "Guests" is not visible to Azure NetApp Files, and the [1000 IP address limit](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md#resource-limits) is not applicable.

## Can I use DNS A/AAAA records or CNAME records to connect to Azure NetApp Files volumes?
46
+
47
+
Azure NetApp Files provides full support for using both A/AAAA (hostname) and CNAME (alias) records in DNS when connecting to NFS and SMB shares. Both types of records can be used for hostname to IP resolution, load balancing, preserving legacy mount paths when data has been migrated, and more.
