URL Redirection via DNS

I think in Apache, URL redirection is done via "rewrite":
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Rewrite

I hope this helps with the intial question since this at the application layer.
While this may help with the original question, this is now off topic.

Short answer:  No
 
Longer answer:  Only FQDN can be aliased with CNAME.   That’s not technically a redirect.   (e.g. mike.mydomain.com being CNAME to Ralph.mydomain.com is OK – however you can not make mike.mydomain.com/landingpage do anything because “/landingpage” is not part of the FQDN so has nothing to do with DNS.)
 
Minor Rant:  Why don’t web developers know how to do simple URL redirection and quit asking DNS Admins to do it for them?

Or it's too much complex to me, or you're terrible wrong in concepts.
 
DNS has nothing to do with URL redirection, that's a web server job, or again, it's too much complex to me. :) What would be an example of what you want to do?
Hi guys,
 
Is it possible to setup DNS to redirect URLs in the address bar of an IE?
