Turns out, I was overthinking it. Your Lightning Address is just pointing to a file location on a webserver. Even though it *looks* like an email address, it’s actually just something your wallet uses to point at your LNURL.
So, for example, if you have an address like:
`funkychicken69@walletofsatoshi.com`
it’s pointing to a location called:
`https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/.well-known/lnurlp/funkychicken69`
If you have your own HTTP server (mine runs Apache), you would simply add the following line to your .htaccess file:
`Redirect /.well-known/lnurlp/[name] https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/.well-known/lnurlp/funkychicken69`
Replace [name] with the name in your NIP-05 address before the @ symbol, and edit the path to your Lightning Address.
If you’re using Alby, your address would be:
`https://getalby.com/lnurlp/[name]`
*Voilà!*
