    Hello everybody,

    I’m trying to figure out how to point a local subdomain to some other subdomain on external server/ip. I have read some posts but I cannot get it working. The story is well known to you:

    This is my first post, so I have to replace . with [dot] (no links allowed for me)

    There are 2 hypothetical domains: localsite[dot]com (on DirectAdmin, IP 1[dot]2[dot]3[dot]4) and externalsite[dot]com (on ISPConfig 3, IP 5[dot]6[dot]7[dot]8). I need movies[dot]localsite[dot]com display content from cms installed at movies[dot]externalsite[dot]com

    I’m doing this on externalsite[dot]com:
    Setup new website (not subdomain) movies[dot]externalsite[dot]com
    Add records to DNS zone for externalsite[dot]com:
    movies A 5[dot]6[dot]7[dot]8
    www[dot]movies A 5[dot]6[dot]7[dot]8

    Create DNS zone for movies[dot]localsite[dot]com (still at externalsite[dot]com) and add website DNS records:
    movies[dot]localsite[dot]com. A 5[dot]6[dot]7[dot]8
    movies[dot]localsite[dot]com. NS ns1[dot]externalsite[dot]com
    movies[dot]localsite[dot]com. NS ns2[dot]exernalsite[dot]com

    On localsite[dot]com I’m adding an A record to DNS:
    movies[dot]localsite[dot]com. A 5[dot]6[dot]7[dot]8

    At this point, movies[dot]externalsite[dot]com opens just fine, but movies[dot]localsite[dot]com opens default page at localsite[dot]com, instead of movies[dot]externalsite[dot]com content…

    What am I missing here?

    Thanks !
