Look up an A record (or AAAA) for mydomain.myshopify.com, then create a similar A (or AAAA) record pointing to the same address in your zone file. If mydomain.myshopify.com is likely to change address (some HA/LB setups can result in this) then you're out of luck, and you'll have to use your webserver to redirect the traffic. > Or is there no way to do this in DNS, and I need to instead point the > domain to my webserver and set up a permanent redirect there? Yes. That would work, but it means that the people using your site will see the URL change to http://mydomain.myshopify.com/ You might find it better to put the CNAME in for www.mydomain.com pointing at mydomain.myshopify.com and then use a 301 redirect from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com -- so your users see the site as www.mydomain.com. Wouldn't it be nice if HTTP clients and servers understood _http._tcp.mydomain.com SRV records? That's becoming the standard solution to this sort of problem nowadays, but unfortunately, the HTTP specifications predate that idea and there is no client side support for it generally available.
