Thanks Ben...that's what I thought. So just to ask the question 
another way:

How do I point requests for "http://mydomain.com" and 
"http://www.mydomain.com" to "http://mydomain.myshopify.com"?

Or is there no 
way to do this in DNS, and I need to instead point the domain to my webserver 
and set up a permanent redirect there?
