I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you want to be able to enter in the address of one website locally, but have it redirect you to another site? Or are you trying to redirect remote users attempting to access your server, sending them to another server instead?
In the first case, you could probably just add an entry into /etc/hosts. In the second case, I think you'd want to set up NAT and port forwarding (this doc might help you: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howto.xml#doc_chap6). |

I don't know if anyone can propose a more elegant solution, but you could create a VirtualHost for foo.bar.com with the following configuration directive (using mod_alias):
| Code: | | Redirect permanent / http://foo.bar.com.pl/ |
This should do it, the only downside is that you need a VirtualHost definition. There might be a more elegant solution to this, however, I can't think of anything else ATM. |

You're quite welcome. By the way, if you're feeling adventurous, you might also want to consider using mod_rewrite to achieve the same result without having to define a VirtualHost. It's not for the faint of heart, though.  |
