I need a program that can instead of simply blocking a connection will
redirect it to another place. Example: I type "www.google.com" in the
browser and I end up in Yahoo. All of the firewalls I've tried simply
block the connection. Anybody know anything I could use?

Why do programmers always mix up Christmas and Halloween?

You could perhaps do it with the HOSTS file,

Adding
216.109.118.75 www.google.com
will send you to www.yahoo.com when you try to go to www.google.com

Our civilization faces three great dangers. The first is destruction by a nuclear war, the second is being crippled with overpopulation and the third is the Age of Leisure.

Yeah, I tried that allready, but I need it to redirect an IP to
another, so I can't use the HOSTS file. Something like:
127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0.1
