Hello folks I m having trouble getting a
Hello folks, I'm having trouble getting a subdomain to redirect to a subdirectory. I'm sorry if this is a noob question.
I have account.mastersofscale.com as a CNAME, pointing to some outdated server that I do not control. I want it to point to the same server that handles https://mastersofscale.com -- more specifically, to https://mastersofscale.com/my-account
When I redirect, I need to capture the query string so things like $_GET variables still work.
I tried...
- removing the CNAME record for this subdomain
- adding page rules for handling the above desired end result.
See screenshots.
Ultimately, this did not seem to work. account.mastersofscale.com just totally failed to load.
I'm sorry if this is a noob question. Does anyone know the correct way to handle this scenario?

You need to have the DNS record 
for the Page rules to be able to hit. You can make it an AAAA record of
for the Page rules to be able to hit. You can make it an AAAA record of 100:: instead of the CNAMEmaking it orange cloud makes 100% sense to me, thank you for pointing that out
however I'm not sure I understand what you mean by
100::
would you be willing to flesh that out into a more complete example so I can understand?
interesting, from their docs:
"and in the case a placeholder IP address is needed for “originless” setups, use the IPv6 reserved address 100::"100:: is just a filter IP address that allows you to have a valid DNS record without needing anything behind it. Given that the CNAME doesn't point to anything that you control, you can delete the CNAME record account.mastersofscale.com and replace it with a AAAA record and have 100:: as the value.is that basically just a sort of dummy value?
Yeah
100:: is a part of a TESTNET so it is a valid IP but won't be routed anywherevery interesting, I'll try it
