Hello, I have 1 server running Plesk9, with 3 redundant offsite nameservers. And i have 1 domain (example.com) hosted on this server and i need to make a redirect from this domain to a subdomain hosted in another server (running directadmin). In a simple way: When someone types example.com it should redirect to subdomain.example.com So i have already created in the subdomain external server and now i want to know what changes do i have to make in Plesk dns settings for the domain example.com to aplly the redirect to subdomain.example.com. I really appreciate if someone can give an advice / help. Thanks

Create a index.html file under the domain example.com and insert the following code: this will make sure to redirect the visitor to subdomain.example.com if he visit your website example.com

hello madaboutlinux, thanks for the tip, but i want to make the redirect using a DNS method, in order that if the example.com server goes offline the site will remaain online redirecting to subdomain.example.com on the external server. The site will remain up, because i have 3 NS and even in case of my server goes offline i still have a ns3 in a external location serving the dns requests. So i need to find a way to make it using dns. Any idea?
