Hi - what is the easiest way to set up a subdomain like apps.domain.com which I would want to redirect to https://www.google.com/a/domain.com ? I have tried a few things but cannot get it to work. Thank you!

I may have answered my own question. This approach seems to work, although, there may be a better alternative.
Set up the following DNS entry at domain.com
apps.hfadm.org. IN CNAME @
And then create / modify .htaccess as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^apps.domain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ redirectToGoogle.html [L]
</IfModule>
And then create redirectToGoogle.html and forward to the desired site
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://yoursitehere.com">
</head>
</html>
