I would recommend using the Apache Redirect command since some browsers and
search engines will ignore the http-equiv=refresh header when it's set to 0.

Make a .htaccess file in the directory which contains the page you want to
redirect people from and put the following inside the .htaccess file:

Redirect permanent /webdir/page.html http://www.domain.com/page.html
         ^-status  ^                 ^-full URL to redirect to
                   |
                    -dir/page you want to redirect people from

The status can be anyone of the following:
permanent, temp, seeother, gone

Next is the Web directory/page you want to redirect people from -
/webdir/page.html is relative from http://www.yourdomain.com.  If you want
to redirect all hits to a certain directory, just leave off page.html.

Lastly is the full URL you want to redirect people to.

For example, say you want to redirect all hits from
http://domain.com/prods/products.html to http://otherdomain.com/order.html,
the Redirect command will look like:

Redirect [status] /prods/products.html http://otherdomain.com/order.html
