How to set up a subdomain with CloudFlare & WPEngine?
(or if there's a better alternative, any advice is appreciated).
Here's the situation:
An E-commerce site with ~500 products, each with ~20 photos, so about 10K product photos overall.
On previous hosting, we simply had an /images/ folder that was aliased as a subdomain, so any requests for "https://images.example.com/subfolder/image.jpg" would be served from "public_html/images/subfolder/image.jpg".
Recently moved to WPEngine, for performance reasons... and I just discovered that they don't do subdomains. Also, WPEngine doesn't do DNS hosting, so I'm using CloudFlare for DNS hosting, which is fine.
What is not fine, is that now I have no idea how to handle the subdomain situation.
How do normal people handle a situation where (for a variety of reasons) you want to have most of the content on the primary domain, but some content on a subdomain/different domain, while using CloudFlare for DNS?
Or is there a better way altogether?

Have you tried WP Engine's support chat? I've found them exceedingly helpful for all manner of issues.... Or was it them that have told you that you can't use subdomains?
