Subdomain redirect rule not working

What is the error message?

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

What is the issue you’re encountering

My redirect for owenkulp.lifespacerealestate.com is not resolving to Owen Kulp, Real Estate Agent |

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Confirmed DNS is proxied, searched community for solutions

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Try to access that subdomain

Redirect Record looks good. You need a DNS record too though, CF recommends 100:: (IPv6 Discard) for originless records.

AAAA owenkulp 100:: Proxied would do, and then just wait for DNS Propagation/cache to expire.

Great! Thank you. As you were responding, I tried a CNAME record:

CNAME | owenkulp | lifespacerealestate dot com | proxied

And that also worked. Any reason to use the AAAA version over the CNAME?

Just that if your Redirect Rule doesn’t match in the future (you change it/delete it by accident, etc), it’ll try to send requests to lifespacerealestate.com, which either won’t work because it’s not configured for that hostname, or will and it’ll be confusing/duplicating content. 100:: can also be helpful to indicate to you “ok a redirect or something in Cloudflare is supposed to take care of traffic here”. Either will work though.
