No, I don't. Because that's not what happens. DNS query resolution is
*not* what is doing this.

J> What am I doing wrong?

You are fiddling with DNS service when DNS service in fact _has nothing to do
with this whatever_.

J> How do you do this?

Consult your content HTTP server's documentation on how to publish
redirections with it.

Note, however, that redirections, either so-called "client-side" ones with
"<META>" or so-called "server-side" ones with 30x responses (both are in
fact enacted on the client side), are a poor way of going about things. For
best results, simply make the two web sites aliases of each other, and don't
employ redirection at all. Clients will then end up sending just one HTTP
request instead of two.
