Subdomain to another subdomain
Hey guys,

I want to point the subdomain "mail.valmy.com" to "webmail.valmy.com", like a redirect, alias, whatever. How do I do that?

Here is my current DNS information. What am I doing wrong?



Thanks!

Just to clarify, a CNAME is NOT used to redirect. It's used in place of A records, however, most people use A records instead.

DNS is used to point a domain to an IP address. There are DNS redirects which you may be able to use, however, you'd probably want to do this through your web server. What web server are you running?

I think what you are looking for is an ALIAS not a CNAME.
