I have a Reserved IP configured on a Virtual machine. I can access that VM by IP but it is not used for outbound connections initiated from that VM. In this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn690120.aspx it says that Reserved IP can be used if "You want to ensure that outbound traffic from Azure uses a predictable IP address. You may have your firewall configured to allow only traffic from specific IP addresses. By reserving a VIP, you will know the source IP address and won’t have to update your firewall rules due to a VIP change. This is especially helpful if you want to configure your firewall before you create your cloud service.". It also says that "Reserved IP is supported only for Regional VNets. It is not supported for VNets that are associated with affinity groups.". I don't have a VNET associated with an affinity group but how do I know if I have a Regional VNET? Could this be the reason why it is not working for outgoing? Any ideas how to make it work for outgoing also?
