Redirect on same server

I want to redirect all requests for one web site to another web site on my server. I am running IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003. Right now I have just posted a default.asp page in the root directory for the incoming requests that redirects to a "www" page elsewhere on the same server. Will that work? Do I have to do anything to the host file?

Example: say a request comes in for www.domain1.com but I want that request to be redirected to www.domain2.com on the same server. Will what I said above do that if I just put (in the default.asp page in the domain1.com root directory)
[code]
Response.Redirect "www.domain2.com"
[/code]

I can't try it myself because this is the result of a change that I am waiting for dns servers to propagate.

Thanks so much for the help but the first solution doesn't work because I need to pass a query string and it won't take that. RE: the stealth approach, I don't care if anyone knows about the site that it is redirected to or not but I do need to pass the query string. So I guess my initial example should have been
"www.domain2.com/folder/a_page.asp?some_var=1

More help?
