Could this be done with CNAME? I think so. It will not be just a 
redirect, they would effectively be the same IP. Then the webserver must 
use virtual hosts if you want a different answer from the two addresses. 
I understand you want the two to be the same.

Two A RRs will also work.

This all assumes you have control over the DNS for xyz.com!
