CodeIgniter: Redirect URL with subdomain

Question

I am trying to redirect a subdomain URL to a controller method. Complete url is

http://subdomain.domain.com/urlofservice/servicename.svc

Part1 I have configured subdomain from hosting service's control panel. Which is redirecting subdomain.domain.com to domain.com

Part2

Configured route url on router.php as

$route['urlofservice/servicename.svc'] = "test/test3";

But when I try to hit the complete url, I get 404 error from the hosting service. 404 error is thrown from hosting server not from codeigniter.
Is there any problem with my seetting?
Should I change redirection setting in .htaccess or in server control panel? Right now server is throwing 404 error which means it's not even hitting the application yet.

You can't use routes directly for subdomain. Use this in your routes.php

if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'subdomain.domain.com')) {
   $route['urlofservice/servicename.svc'] = "test/test3";
}

Thanks. But right now url is not hitting the application, I am getting 404 from hosting server itself. – Himanshu Yadav May 28 '13 at 21:26
What is the need of subdomain, if you redirecting it to main domain? – sakibmoon May 28 '13 at 21:42
Sorry. I wasn't sure about its configuration. I don't know if I have to do some configuration on .htaccess file or leave the redirect part blank. – Himanshu Yadav May 28 '13 at 21:46
@Himanshu, probably yes. I don't see any other option. I am not good with `mod_rewrite`. – sakibmoon May 28 '13 at 22:19
