Re: redirect web url to new ip address but keep the www.sitename.com i

You can keep the domain name in the URL bar by using frames. But it will not
solve your problem, because the browser still knows that you are using the
IP address and not domain name. All you really accomplish is to hide the IP
address for the user.

When changing web server (or ip address), always keep both servers running
for some time. DNS changes will not propogate to all "local" DNS servers
immediately.
