Comment (by dcf):

 I get the impression that you can't use the Azure CDN to forward to just
 any origin server—only to one of your Azure services (a "storage account"
 or a "cloud service").
   [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg680301.aspx How to
 Enable the Content Delivery Network (CDN) for Azure]
   "In the Origin Domain dropdown, select a storage account from the list
 of your available storage accounts, or select a cloud service from the
 list of your available cloud services."
 In this regard it looks like App Engine. The CDN fronts a cloud service,
 and the cloud service is a trivial reflector that forwards requests on to
 the bridge.

 The Azure account also lets you set up your own VMs (unlike App Engine),
 so probably you could also just run a bridge right ''on'' Azure, and front
 it with the CDN and dispense with the reflector.
