Is there a way to do it without hosting the full zone on route53?

Having only a subdomain served through ssl hosted on s3, while the zone is managed by another DNS manager where there are currently several rules already in place.

Does your DNS manager allow you to create CNAME records? Try adding one of those and point it to your Cloudfront URL. Cloudfront has a space for you to pass in alternate domain names. Type the outside domain in that field.

If you try, would you mind letting me know if it worked?

Yup, it worked using the alternate names and a CNAME redirecting. Thanks!
