I have a website, www.mysite.com My client has their site, www.clientsite.com We would like to setup where www.clientsite.com/directory shows the pages that are hosted at www.mysite.com/directory Ideally it would be an A-Record type of setup, so we are not feeding data from my server to the client's server. Any suggestions about how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. |

DNS resolves (host)names to IP addresses. It doesn't know the first thing about directories on a web server. What you actually want is a reverse proxy. See this answer. |

As Christopher Perrin has said, DNS is NOT responsible for URLs. It is only responsible for associating a domain-name to an IP address. There are alternative ways to work within these confines: The use of sub-domains. i.e. www.some-site.com may be your "site"... and have images.some-site.com as an alias in your web-server to "www.some-site.com/images". Depending on your web-server and it's configuration, you can set up "global" paths that are mapped on every site that points to a common directory... (i.e. http://siteA.com/directory1 is the same as http://siteB.com/directory1 but http://siteA.com/directory2 is not the same as http://siteB.com/directory2 You can even use redirects to get you to the proper URL if all else fails. |

No, that is not possible. DNS is responsible for resolving an IP to a Name and reversed (and for a few other things). The structure with the URLs is the responsibility of your webserver. I foyu have access to the webserver config you can have look into rewriting or reverse proxying, |
