Subdomains in Windows Azure

I have a Windows Azure project that I am working on. It consists of two web roles, one is open, and the other is the administration site for my client, who is making changes to the database, etc.

I expected to be able to use a subdomain for each role - for example you have mysite.com and admin.mysite.com (obviously CNAME-mapped to the DNS name .cloudapp.net). However, it appears that Azure does not do this and instead has one subdomain (mysite.com) with different ports for each web role. So, for example, I would have mysite.com:80 for the main public site and mysite.com:8080 for the administration.

It is right? Can't I have subdomains for certain Internet roles?

Thanks in advance

It is right. You can of course answer both subdomains in the same role. However, multiple web roles in Windows Azure correspond to multiple ports on the same virtual IP address.
