    copied!<p>Right, excuse my stupidity, I've looked through a load of examples on t'interweb but I don't think I've found what I'm looking for.</p> <p>I have a website, <code>photography.example.com</code> is the main site but I also want to have another subdomain to serve static files, for example <code>static.photography.example.com</code>.</p> <p>If I request a file (e.g. <code>http://static.photography.example.com/js/jquery.js</code>) I want that file to be retrieved from the non-static domain, allowing me to keep my file structure completely untouched but using multiple domains to allow more concurrent http requests.</p> <p>I don't want to throw any http responses that would make the browser thing the file has been moved, I just want to mirror the files from the normal domain to the static domain. After this I would proceed to set far future expired to improve caching etc.</p> <p>How do I achieve this using <code>.htaccess</code>?</p> <p><strong>EDIT 1</strong></p> <p>So after a bit of messing around I have come up with this:</p> <pre><code>Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://photography.example.com/$1 [L] </code></pre> <p>But this actually redirects to the domain I'm trying to read, I want it to serve the file up under the static domain name, any help with modifying this script would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p><strong>EDIT 2</strong></p> <p>So I've amended my DNS and waited a few days for it to propagate but the CNAME technique doesn't work either. Here's the entry:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9ny25.png" alt="alt text"></p>
