Hi
i've only done this with subsections of a site, by putting  an 
.htaccess file at the root level or in the relevant subdirectory, 
containing the line

Redirect /subdirectory http://www.newdomain.com

or if you want it to redirect to a particular bit of the new site:

Redirect /subdirectory http://www.newdomain.com/subdirectory

You can apply it to any specific directory, e.g.

Redirect /subdirectory/subsubdirectory http://www.newdomain.com

and you can have multiple entries - new line for each.

I would guess for a whole site the syntax would be

Redirect / http://www.newdomain.com/

with the .htaccess file at the top level. I added the trailing slash 
here because I think the Apache docs say they have to match, but you 
might want to check that. You could try this anyway and see if it 
works. In all these cases  everything lower down the hierarchy gets 
redirected automatically.

cheers
