Routing Subdomain Traffic to a Primary Domain

Let’s propose the following scenario:

Use Case: Route Traffic from your Subdomain https://mydomain.com to https://www.mydomain.com.

The user would have two scenarios that might occur as they go to your site:

   client —> https://www.mydomain.com

   client —-> https://mydomain.com –> XLRoutes Proxies –> https://www.mydomain.com

How would you do it? 3 easy steps…

   1) Add https://mydomain.com as a custom domain to your inbound proxy.

   2) Upload your security certificates for https://mydomain.com in the XLRoutes Admin Inbound setup.

   3) Update the DNS records for mydomain.com to point to the two IPs XLRoutes provides to you.

Alternate (and the more secure) Solution: Use the XLRoutes “certificate-less” service - XL Routes Shield - and create an inbound proxy pointing to https://www.mydomain.com for https://mydomain.com, then update the DNS.

XL Routes Shield does not require you upload certificates to our dashboard and removes the risk of a third party attack on XLRoutes that potentially could compromise your certificates.
