I don't use CNAMEs so don't have a good DNS answer (don't think you can redirect to a specific page, just a
domain, not 100% sure, tho). However...what you could do is redirect via headers...that I know works great.
Instead of adding a CNAME, when some goes to www.domaintoredirect.com send them headers to redirect to wherever
you wanted. PHP does headers if you are running it.
