Good Morning,

Here is the question.


  I like OldDomain.com. Its a cool name and I dont want to let it, nor the 
content that i have created on it go. But I also have NewDomain.net that 
more people know about. I dont want to pay for full hosting of 2 different 
domains. So I am doing a complete backup of OldDomain.com and removing it 
from the current hosting company.

  My New hosting company is allowing me to point OldDomain.com to its 
Domain Name Servers for a fee of $10 per month. I have already submitted 
DNS changes to Network Solutions to point to the new Name Servers.

What do I need to do now to achieve the following result...


Someone types in http://www.OldDomain.net/something
They get redirected to http://www.NewDomain.com/OldDomainSave/something/

With the address in the URL changing in the address bar to 
http://www.NewDomain.com/OldDomainSave/something/

Meta Refresh?
VHost?
.htaccess?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
