[Linux-disciples] dns questions

I want to move a web app I'm running from one domain to another. The  
current setup is as follows: the web app is available at  
listings.forrestnewmedia.com. I own that domain and the DNS settings  
on that domain point to the name servers of the hosting company where  
the app is running. Within my account at that hosting company, I have  
set up a subdomain that points to the directory where the app lives  
(public_html/listings).

What I want to do now is move the application to a new domain:  
listings.forrestpartners.com. I do NOT own this domain name (but I do  
have access to the GoDaddy control panel to make any necessary  
changes). There is already a PHP app running at  
www.forrestpartners.com so I don't want to simply point the DNS  
settings of forrestpartners.com to my hosting company. So what do I  
need to do w/i the DNS of this domain to make the listings app  
available at the listings subdomain? If I create a CNAME, do the URLs  
get rewritten at that domain or does that simply redirect it to  
listings.forrestnewmedia.com. Or do I need to do something else?

Thanks,
Jamie
