If you want to change the DNS in Azure App Service Web App, this article will show you how. First, let's say that by default App Service is using Azure DNS servers for name resolution.

Apart from securing your web apps there is another reason why you would use applicatoin gateway (WAF tier) in an ILB ASE. You can expose your web app to the internet. 

This is direct followup from the previous article about creating the ILB ASE itself - https://www.azuretechguy.com/ilb-ase-new

To integrate our ILB ASE with an WAF tier App Gateway we will be following this guide loosely because it is kind of old and screenshots are no longer relevant (as of now) but it gives good insight on how to achieve this
