Rerouting connection?

[Dusk]

I have this game (Jazz Jackrabbit 2) which is rather old and the list server is down. The users have set up the own listserver (jazz.contrabandent.com) to replace the old one (jazz.logicware.com). I was wondering if it is possible to make it so that if JJ2 tries to connect to jazz.logicware.com it is rerouted to jazz.contrabandent.com.
Is that possible?

Thanks in advance

is jj2 a os x game? if so you may be able to specifiy jazz.logicware.com as jazz.contrabandent.com in your host file so every time the operating system goes to resolve jazz.logicware.com it will check the host file which will tell it to goto jazz.contrabandent.com, os 10 checks the host file before dns servers, so basically add this entry to the host flat file (/etc/hosts)

66.12.88.130 jazz.logicware.com

this should map jazz.logicware.com to 66.12.88.130(jazz.contrabandent.com)

btw im not too sure how the ip is going work do the cname...im not sure if it just points to an ip or to a node so

'jazz.contrabandent.com jazz.logicware.com'

should work as well as

'66.12.88.130 jazz.logicware.com'

Thanks, that works. I use an app, tho and i was wondering where the host file is.
