Domain forwarding

[outres]

I am helping a friend that has 4 domains registered at Sonic. All 4 point to the same webspace and index.html page. She now needs to have her domains pointed to her employers website to a specific page. So in theory domain mysite.com and mysite2.com all point to another domain hosted elsewhere myemployer.com/services/aboutme.html

I cannot seem to get this forwarding done. Sonic advises they do not have tools for domain forwarding. I was first advised to modify the CNAME record, but this is not correct at this records will only accept a fully qualified domain name only and not the path.

I tried various ways to redirect with htaccess. All attempts end up that the http header gets sent and appended to the destination url. The result is page not found error because url ends up http://myemployer.com/services/aboutme.htmlindex.html

Here is what I have tried:
------
index.php
<?
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header ("Location: http://myemployer.com/services/aboutme.html");
?>
-----
htaccess

Redirect /index.html http://myemployer.com/services/aboutme.html
-----------
htaccess mod rewrite

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ myemployer.com/services/aboutme.html [R=301,L]
-------

Any ideas? I am not sure how much assistance she can get from employers host to have them do a apache config file modification which would probably handle this.

htaccess

Redirect /index.html http://myemployer.com/services/aboutme.html

Stephen, This should work. Perhaps something else in the .htaccess file that is causing trouble?
