I’m not sure if anyone is having issues with this or solving in differently.
To me this seemed like easiest way.
Please comment if you see any issues.

I think doing this via your DNS provider is simpler and involves one less centralized service.
Agreed, but I think it’s important people know they could save money by adding cache to their application.
It’s also not a redirect it’s a proxy so it masks the raw url completely

Only sharing because you asked if people were doing it differently, and you mentioned the simplest way 
Here’s another alternative.
