TLDR; You need a static IP address.

You should not set the grizzly BASE_URL to the subdomain and you should not use a CNAME record. You should set the BASE_URL to a static IP address, and point the subdomain to that IP using an A record.

Example: you own domain.com and want to attach sub.domain.com to your application.

1. Get a static IP address (e.g. 50.12.xxx.yy)

2. Add an A (Host) record: sub --> 50.12.xxx.yy

3. Set the Grizzly BASE_URL: 50.12.xxx.yy

4. Go to http://sub.domain.com and you will hit your app
