    You can do it in nginx, but - for a less technically demanding solution you can also modify the index.html file in the mentor directory to look something like this: 

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    window.location.replace("https://motorolamentor.zendesk.com/");
  </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

    Happy new year

    or simply add a CNAME record in DNS :)
