Setup Forwards without IP

[aidancomi]

I’m looking to forward a domain, but it’s requiring a record (A or CNAME) at the host. How can I do that without using an IP or CNAME. I have it working now, but I’m using an IP of my test server, and would prefer to have a better solution.

Also how can I do it with a catchall forward for all subdomains?

There’s a tutorial for that.
Ultimately, I believe the Page Rule from the tutorial will have to be split into two page rules:

1. Match old.com/* and forward to https://new.com/$1
2. Match *.old.com/* and forward to https://$1.new.com/$2

That will send the old to the new domain, and the old subdomain(s) to the new subdomain(s) if it’s a 1:1 mapping of old subdomains to new subdomains. If the new domain isn’t a complete structure map of the old domain, let us know how they differ.

Redirecting One Domain to Another

This tutorial covers redirecting one domain to another. For this, we will be redirecting domainA.com to domainB.com. The following settings need to be configured under the domain you are redirecting from, in this example, this is domainA.com Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, www and any other subdomains you want to redirect, set to . This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing…

Thanks for the quick response, but when I try to add a * as an A record, it no longer becomes proxied, so I don’t see how I can use it to forward, unless I have to manually point every subdomain in to the dummy IP.

That’s correct. You can’t Proxy a wildcard DNS entry unless you’re on an Enterprise plan. You’d have to create a DNS entry for each subdomain, just like you’d do for www.
