I'm using the Azure Repository plugin to take snapshot backups.  
I created a new Storage Account with the "Azure DNS Zone" option in the networking tab as shown :-

If we select this option, then snapshot registration fails as nodes are unable to connect to the storage account with an error "UnknownHostException". It looks like the plugin has the subdomain hardcoded - **.blob.core.windows.net**.

Is there any plan to support the new Azure DNZ Zone based endpoints in the plugin?
