The servers "jolie" and "apps" are hosts, not domains. If the server is registered in DNS with an A or CNAME record, it's not a domain.

What is the difference between a single resource and an entire domain? We used to have a server accessed under the domain 'joile.cdpr.ca.gov'. We now have a new server accessed under the domain 'apps.cdpr.ca.gov'. We want any and all traffic to the old domain to end up on the new. Is that a 'single resource' or an 'entire domain' and why?
