DNS Redirection

[NsOmNiA91130]

Essentially, I want to redirect requests for a certain site to another site. I searched Google, but I mostly got DDNS sites. So, how would I go about doing this, in a nutshell?

So you mean if someone is using your computer and types in a certain URL, it'll actually redirect to another site?
(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=local+DNS+redirect&btnG=Search)

Or are you building a website and want to redirect to a different site?
(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=HTML+redirect&btnG=Google+Search)

Locally. Is there a way to do it with a Linksys wireless router, or will I have to put a server between the router and the internet?

Do you want something like no-ip.org? Or are you wanting a simple redirect page?

I want it so that requests for a certain page (such as google.com) will redirect to another.
Crappo diagram below.

Request for Google goes through local whatever

Request is redirected to OCForums

Other computer is now looking at OCForums, even though they requested google.com

With my WRT54GL, I can block specific URLs or webpages with specified keywords, but not redirect URLS.

I would think you could setup a Proxy server on that PC, then set it up to do the redirecting. Then point the browser to the proxy server (127.0.0.1:whatever)

should be able to with a Hostfile..

Host file is the correct answer. It will need to be done locally on a pc.

I used Simple DNS and pointed the other computer to mine, and it works. Thanks.
