Sorry about the title, I'm not quite sure what to call what I'm trying to do.
Our university department (distance ed.) has two servers: a WordPress-only server and a main/everything else server.
Blog url: blog.distance.school.com
Everything else url: distance.school.com
I want to create a WordPress site that lives at: blog.distance.school.com/facultyresources, but when people access it, I want them to see it at: distance.school.com/facultyresources.
Is this masking? Proxying? I'm not even sure.
tl;dr:
— WP will be installed at blog.distance.school.com/facultyresources
— users will access at: distance.school.com/facultyresources
Thanks for any advice you might have!

Since you're not answering about the web server running on both server, I will give you 2 options:
on the web server level
on the client level
Web Server Level
If the web server is Apache, you can use the module mod_proxy in particular the proxy pass directive. Just add this conf on the distance.school.com and it will fullfill your request:
<Location /facultyresources/>
ProxyPass blog.distance.school.com/facultyresources/ </Location>
The client level
Use a frameset & frame to perform a mask. But user will still be able to access the other url, the one with blog. inside. The index.html at distance.school.com/facultyresources :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Blog</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="*">
<frame src="http://blog.distance.school.com/facultyresources/" scrolling="no" resize="no" marginwidth="0">
</frameset>
</html>
