I think you can do this by using htaccess files.
Place the following in a ".htaccess" file in the *original* directory 
created by the virtual domain www.kortemeier.net, it should then redirect 
to whichever site you specify and mask the fact that it has done so. I'm 
not sure if this works precisely the same way on RaQ4's as I haven't tested 
it. However it works fine on my RaQ3.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.tremper.com/web/family/$1 [P]
