I assume you mean without the user seeing the real URL. In which case there are two other methods (in theory, at least):


 1) have a smart server that can translate the URLs (as mentioned by Azeem previously)

 2) using a form of include script whereby the initial server goes and gets the page from the real server then displays it to the user.


If your objective is simply to redirect you can use DNS, location directives or meta refresh as well as the above.

And that's really the point.
