I have been trying to get DNS configured to point a subdomain from one domain to another subdomain on a different domain name. The only issue is that the CNAME keeps pointing to the primary domain and not the subdomain where it should be going.
This is the scenario;
Other Background:
Does anyone know what DNS entries I am missing to get this working correctly ?
Note: I do not want to just put a redirect between domains as I need the content of xyz.newdomain.com/content.html to be visible via the URL of cdn.xyz.com/content.html
This is the scenario;
- cdn.xyz.com should display content from this subdomain xyz.newdomain.com
- It is instead displaying content from newdomain.com (not the xyz sub domain)
- cdn.xyz.com/page.htm displays content from newdomain.com/page.htm which I imagine is just missing some aspect in the DNS perhaps to get the pointing to the subdomain working correctly
Other Background:
- setup is between two different servers with different IP ranges although DNS cluster is on between all servers
- the newdomain.com is set up with its own unique IP (which is on the A records for the subdomains, the subdomains work as expected/normal)
- the DNS entry is correct (cdn CNAME xyz.newdomain.com.) ie the end period is included
- a DNS lookup on the CNAME externally reports back as xyz.newdomain.com. as the record
