You can't using DNS, you can only resolve DNS queries to an IP address or to
an alias for another name (which points to an IP address). There are some
redirector scripts available. This is one difference with the RAQ vs. the
Qube, the RAQ allows you to do multihoming (many host/domain names) on one
IP. It simply puts them in SITE1, SITE2, etc. As I understand it, the Qube
was not intended for this.
Answers your question?
