Redirect without refetching URL

Is it possible to redirect a URL to an external site without
refetching the url on the client.
ie:
redirect http://www.my_webserver.com/site to http://www.othersite.com/other
On the browser it should still have http://www.my_webserver.com/site
after the redirection

Is it possible to do this without a proxypass because I want to avoid
having the traffic through my webserver.

Thanks

Indeed, one won't get, what's not been asked for ...
.... however, there is a way to hide the question:
just frame the rabbit

or make it an object
