If setting up a virtual domain isn't a problem for the second domain, you
can use a simple CGI and .htaccess. Otherwise, just set up hulla-balloo.com
on its own IP and set up A records for www.hullaballoo.com and
hullaballoo.com to point to that IP.

Here's the CGI that will point to the other domain. Save as index.cgi:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Location: http://www.hulla-balloo.com/";
echo ""

And the .htaccess file:

Options FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl

Chmod the index.cgi to 755.
