multiple domains under one site
i have two domains and one of them simply redirects to the other, i want them to share the same settings, is there a way to add them under the same site? if not does cf provide a way to sync up settings for multiple domains? it looks like something that'd be done pretty frequently

If it just redirects then there's no need for any settings as the site it gets redirected to will handle everything
ah i see, thank you
hey sorry to bother, ive set up cname but its been hours and it still doesnt work (dig shows earlier records), am i doing something wrong or should i just wait
first one points to 100:: because its only used for cf redirects currently
what are you trying to do? You're cnaming everything in that domain to a differrent domain, which doesn't resolve to anything?
If you want them to be redirects, define those redirects in that zone as well
is that the only way to do that? they're the exact same so i dont wanna replicate everything
you want laralove.gay and lara.lv to both redirect to something else?
i want them both to redirect to the same thing
basically laralove.gay redirects to github.com/laralove and i want lara.lv to also redirect to github.com/laralove
this applies to every redirect
isnt cname the option to go for when you want two domains to do the same thing
ahh ok, yea you'd duplicate the redirects. You could redirect one site to another (like have all subdomains/paths from lara.lv go to laralove.gay), but then you'd have two hops
Do the same thing? No...
A CNAME is a "canonical redirect", basically saying "If you want an answer, go over here for DNS level stuff". In normal usage, you might have a few sites that CNAME to the same single site, which has A/AAAA records back to a web server, which accepts the host headers/urls/requests from the other domains.
Put in simpler words, for web requests, its like saying "Ask the same web server as you do here, for a response, but from this domain"
so the silver lining is cname doesnt work with cf redirects?
i used silver lining wrongly there
the takeaway is the word ig
Basically. You'd probably just want to recreate the redirects, they wouldn't be the exact same, as the source url would at least be different. If you wanted more central management you could use Bulk Redirects which are account-wide, but you'd still need seperate entries for both sites
thats unfortunate because i do have quite a few redirects
you could create a worker that handles it all on both, but you'd be paying for worker invocations, or you could add a single redirect on lara.lv and redirect all requests to laralove.gay keeping subdomain/path
thatd be a hop right?
like a noticable hop from the user
yea it's not the end of the world though, it'd be a bit slower sure, another dns resolution and request.
Could the user notice it? Probably not
basically lara.lv is just meant to be a shorthand
could drop the first domain entirely if i listed every place i use it
