Andrew, first off i am not sure why the customer would want to redirect to
subdirectories, but to each their own.

I believe a simple java script would do the job nicely, and keep whatever
tampering out of the dns, which i have seen others advise that it is
unable to do.

Below is a outtake from http://linuxguruz.org

http://www.microsoft.com has moved to http://www.linuxguruz.org, you
will be taken there automatically in 10 second.
</body></html>

It should work with both http://www.somedomain.com and
http://www.somedomain.com/somedirectory/somewhere/onsomeserver

Of course there are other ways to so it also, depending on which scripting
agents  you have installed.

Cheers.
