parking domain -> right way?

[Desdinova]

Allright it's like this:

I have

-daddy.com
and
-kiddo.com

I made a subdomain called
-kiddo.daddy.com
which points to
-daddy.com/kiddo.

Now I want
-kiddo.com
to point to
-kiddo.daddy.com

does that mean, that in the kiddo.com DNS, I should get a CNAME with
kiddo.com CNAME kiddo.daddy.com?

or how should I do this?
the link with daddy.com shouldn't be visible to the visitor.

CNAME records, A records ...

only serve the purpose of find the right IP#. They have nothing to do with pointing domains toward specific subdomains or directories.

One way to do this would be to create an invisible frame at kiddo.com which would load kiddo.daddy.com. The problem would be that the URL in the browser would never change, even as your visitors would navigate the site.

Another way to do it is to delete kiddo.daddy.com and recreate it as it's own domain. Then you can set up an alias for it, aliasing kiddo.com to kiddo.daddy.com.
