To replace a legacy web site, a client has pointed their DNS at my server where a new version of the website exists.
However they still serve http://support.example.com from their own server.
I have noticed that non-www requests, e.g. http://example.com still point to their own server, therefore show the old web site.
How can I point non-www requests, http://example.com at my server without breaking the functionality of their 'support' sub-domain?
- The client's server is a Microsoft server, mine is Linux/Apache
- Edit: Changing the DNS 'A' record will not break the existing sub-domain
- I know I could add an index.html page to the front of the old site, but if it was ever deleted the page requests would cease to work
- I can't use mod-rewrite because I don't have access to their web server files
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
On the client DNS, create an A record for:
- support.example.com – IP of the client's server
- example.com – IP of my server
- www.example.com - IP of my server
No need for any DNS changes on my server regarding this domain
