Redirect but keep alias URL

Question

How can I work it so that if someone goes to podcast.mydomain.com they get the content from mydomain.com/feed/podcast but never see that URL? I only want them to see podcast.mydomain.com, so a 301 Redirect isn't what I'm looking for.

And mydomain.com/feed/podcast is a dynamically generated URL, so I can't use a standard symlink either.

Okay, can you try this. In the dashboard add the subdomain to the primary domain record so that they are both listed using the same application. Then add something like this in that applications '.htaccess' directory:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^podcast.mydomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !feed/podcast/
RewriteRule (.*) /feed/podcast/$1 [L]

There are other ways you can try masking the URL if that is not sufficient:

Domain masking
URL Masking

Hope this helps!
