Hi,
I have product.com and company.com
I would love to figure out how to tell both the DNS and Nginx to redirect product.com to a folder inside the company.com domain.
Ideally all these permutations
http://product.com
https://product.com
http://www.product.com
https://www.product.com
Redirect the user to a subfolder inside of company.com at
Please let me know
-
What DNS records I would need for product.com, and compnay.com
-
What Nginx rule(s) I would need for product.com, and compnay.com
Thank you!

Hi @digitaldev,
Using DNS for a HTTP redirection is not possible with just DNS. There are companies providing DNS forwarding though.
As for the Nginx rules, now that’s possible.
You can server_name which supports suffix matches using .mydomain.com syntax:
server {
server_name .mydomain.com;
rewrite ^ http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri? permanent;
}
or on any version 0.9.1 or higher:
server {
server_name .mydomain.com;
return 301 http://www.adifferentdomain.com$request_uri;
}
