No can do via DNS. Because there is already an entry for www.redhat.com,
that points to the machines handling HTTP requests, you can't have another
entry.
Remember, the actual HTTP TCP request doesn't occur until AFTER the IP
address has been obtained.
The DNS IP address lookup structure has no idea what you are going to do
with the address, only that you are looking for it.
