Ahh!! No!
They mean make your own .htaccess file and drop it into the /web
directory for the particular site you want to affect. You can do this
with a plain-text editor - and after you drop it into the site with
your ftp program, it will disappear unless you configure your ftp
program to see all (-la) files.

Well it depends on where you're sending the requests. If you're
sending them to a specific IP, you can do this with your DNS 'A'
record entries.
But if you want to send it to something like a Geocities URL, you'd be
better off making a virtual site (one meg will do) and doing a
redirect with either frames or an .htaccess file.
