[lug] url redirect through dns

[Judson Valeski]

AFAIK you can't do this using a DNS, but yea, you should be able to do a 
hard re-direct by config'ing the HTTP server. If I request a url from 
domainA, the HTTP response to that request can be a 3XX level response 
which tells the browser to "redirect" the request to whatever URL is in 
the "location: " header in the HTTP response. That header can point to 
domainB for example.

I'm not sure how to specifically do this w/ apache (though I know that 
it is possible). I would grep through apache docs for "redirect" 
"location header" "302" etc.
