Hi kridsana.

 

A DNS response isn't going to be able to send an http redirect.

 

It looks like the article you reference above shows you how to set up a CNAME record to reference another WideIP. That WideIP contains the A record that you want to return.

 

In the article: If you make a request for the competitor.com. A record, you are, after a few queries returned the A record for competitor.siterequest.com.
