Is it possible to creating a redirect with path forwarding simply within DNS records or am I required to utilize Page Rules?

Path Forwarding Details, Per Google
Path forwarding lets you forward the path after the domain name to the same path at the new domain. Everything after the initial “.com/” in your URL is copied to the forwarded domain. When the domain you’re forwarding to has the same structure as the current domain, use path forwarding.
For example, if you’re forwarding “documentationexample com” to “example com”, your domain can be forwarded in 2 ways:
- With path forwarding on: “documentationexample com/about.html” redirects to “example com/about.html”.
- With path forwarding off: “documentationexample com/about.html” redirects to “example com”.
Tips:
- To make sure that you forward to a website URL that ends with a “/” sign: Do not turn on path forwarding.
- To turn off path forwarding: Under “Path Forwarding,” click Do not forward.
