I have a main domain name : maindomain.com, on which I can access DNS configuration and current linked server (only files, not configuration) and a "cdn" domain (not one the same domain) cdn.domain.com on which I can access nearly everything

I want to transparent redirect request to subdomain (i.e. maindomain.com still in adress bar but cdn.domain.com reached) to reach my
website on symfony

What I tried :

A 301 Redirect : (.htaccess)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) cdn.domain.com/ [R=301,L]


But this is not transparent as the URL change

A Proxy redirect : (.htaccess)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cdn.domain.com/ [P]


But this doesn't seems to be activated on main server

I have some other solution to try, but I don't know if this could work and to avoid breaking the server I would like to know if this could work.

Edit server name in configuration and set DNS

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName maindomain.com
</VirtualHost>


maindomain.com intead of current cdn.domain.com.
And make DNS pointing to the server IP.

Can this configuration break other subdomains? stackoverflow.com/questions/43632105/transparent-redirection-from-domain-to-subdomain
Externalise Symfony assets

As I don't have enough space on maindomain.com current server, I wanted to
know if I could only store the whole site structure except assets (a
part of web/ directory ? And how this would work for file upload ?

Furtherome is this viable (time complexity) with an external database
(stored on cdn.domain.com) ?
