Using DNS to redirect to another URL with a path [closed]

Answer 1

I realize this is an old thread but FWIW, incase someone else is looking for a way to do this.

While dns does not understand the path portion of the url, it will understand subdomains, so instead of:

www.proof.com IN CNAME www.proof-two.com/path/index.htm

You could use:

www.proof.com IN CNAME proof.proof-two.com

then go to wherever you host proof-two.com and set it to point proof.proof-two.com to www.proof-two.com/path/index.htm.
