http is not email. :-)

Besides, looks like you're talking about http redirects. Another thing 
you can do in http is actually serve different "hotst" from the same 
server. As a part of a request, you get the actual utl, so you can see 
what the user was looking for, even if it all ends up on the same 
server. No need to redirect anything...
But it all depends on what you want to do, of course.
