How to redirect a domain to another server?

 > <VirtualHost *>
 > ServerName example.com
<font color=purple> > Redirect / <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://ip.of.the.server/</font" target="_blank">http://ip.of.the.server/</font</a>>
 > </VirtualHost>

But when I redirect to the ip of my new server I get the default domain of
my new server. This is the problem. I have to redirect example.com to
example.com but on another server
How can I do this?

This can also be done in the rewrite engine, although such is more "costly."<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

You fix DNS to point at your new server *after* you copied the site to
that server.
After that you wait till DNS is updated - untill that time you have 2
servers serving your site - if you do not see any more hits on the old
server you can disconnect it.
It might help to start lowering TTL *before* starting the move.

Then change in machine "B" so _that_ will be his default domain.

What is if a user has got cgi´s or something else (guestbook etc)? I think
that would be not so good

Lets say I want to do this a little bit more professional. Not just
switching ServerA off. You have to calculate up to 2 Wheeks until all NS in
the world are updated. Then the domains are down up to 2 Wheeks.

What is if I have 20 Domains?
