Cannot point domain name to Windows Azure Website

I signed up for an As-You-Go account with Windows Azure, and created an SQL DB and setup 'Websites'. I then successfully deployed my website to my Azure account and read a bunch of articles online that basically said I need to CNAME my domain name to my Windows Azure Websites URL.

So I did that:

I then stumbled upon another article that said "for 'Websites' you need to scale the server to 'Reserved' mode."

I did that too:

But it hasn't worked.

I am getting a 404 on my homepage which is hosted on my previous hosting company's server, even though I've set it up to point to Azure's servers.

Can anyone please help shed some light on this? Am I doing something wrong? As you can see, it's been about 72 hours already, and given the information above, to me, it suggest that it still hasn't propagated yet. Is this the case?

How do I point my GoDaddy domain to Azure?

You can delegate your domain to Azure DNS by creating a DNS zone in Azure DNS and adding it's NS records to GoDaddy, where you own the domain. This will allow you to host a DNS zone and manage the DNS records for your domain in Azure.

On the Configure page, you also need to enter your custom hostname:
