Domain forwarding to dynamic page
We recently removed a site we've been running for an affiliate. Instead, we decided to forward
the domain to our main site, along with an affiliate id: http://www.ourdomain.com/index.asp?aid=44
So the goal was to forward the other site: http://www.othersite.com/ to the link above.
So we forwarded the domain in GoDaddy. After the domain propigated, the "othersite.com" domain, now points to nothing - the name servers are GoDaddy's, the fowarding is set correctly, but it won't redirect.
It's only been 24 hours - but I'm wondering if there's a limitation when forwarding domains.
Is it possible to forward a domain like that? to a dynamic page?
Thanks for your help!

Not via DNS, you will need to setup a redirect in your web server.

can i redirect it to a page without the id? like http://www.ourdomain.com/landingpage.asp
and then put the redirect in there?
and then put the redirect in there?
No you can't use DNS for anything past the TLD (.com)

DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
