Is "ipwebserver" a name or IP address?  If it's the IP address, this is
correct.  It's not a redirect, it's just the address of www.domain.com.

If "ipwebserver" is a name, you should use a CNAME record to make an alias:

www IN CNAME ipwebserver
ipwebserver IN A 1.2.3.4

where 1.2.3.4 should be replaced with the IP address of the web server.
