Hi All,

I'm looking to redirect traffic to custom URL's on my schools Google
Site.

I want this URL: globalchristianschool.com/intro (currently broken)

to load this URL: https://sites.google.com/a/globalchristianschool.com/global-christian-school/intro

I know how to forward a sub-domain (i.e.
intro.globalchristianschool.com), but am so far stumped on how to
redirect to a subfolder.

Any help would be appreciated!

I believe you need to setup a redirect page on the first page which
redirect to the second page. You can't do sub-URL forwarding in DNS
because DNS really only understands top level domains.

I haven't tried but you could creat a google site at the first address
and use this to make it a redirect to the target site.

Another options is to enable the Google Shortlinks lab to your
domain. This has been awesome for us and might be an easier way for
you to solve this.
