Follow these steps if you wish to forward all pages from www.domain.com to the same page on www.domain2.com so http://www.domain.com/page1 forwards to http://www.domain2.com/page1.
How to Create the Web Forward
- Log into UltraDNS.
- Click Domains.
- Click the <domain name> that you want to add the web forward to.
- Under Web Forwarding, click + Add Record.
- Enter the page that you want to redirect in the Requests To: field (for example, if you want to redirect a single page on www.domain.com enter http://www.domain.com/page1 without quotes).
- Enter the page to redirect in the Redirects To: field (for example, if you want forward to the specific page http://www.domain2.com/page1, enter http://www.domain2.com/page1 without quotes).
- Set Type to whatever value is preferred (for example, if this is a redirect that you plan to leave in place for the foreseeable future, select 301 Redirect).
- Leave the Relative Forward: as is unless you need to append a portion of the incoming URL to the Redirects To URL.
- Click Save.

Verification
- Test the Requests To URL (for example http://www.domain.com/page1).
- Confirm it forwards to the matching page on the destination host (for example http://www.domain2.com/page1).
- Confirm the redirect type returned matches the Type selected (for example 301 if 301 Redirect was selected).
