OK some people are taking this 'PIX doesn't route. period.' thing too far.
No it's not a router, yes it has a routing table.  What does that have to do
with this anyway?

You don't need a router to do this.  It's not adding a new subnet or
anything, just redirecting to an existing host.  If it couldn't permit/deny
or VIP address to specific hosts or subnets, it wouldn't be anything at all
but a boat anchor.

However I just realized something, if host B isn't behind the firewall, you
can't do it with just a PIX.  Best you could do is change the DNS entries in
that scenario.  Where is this host B?  If you're trying to forward a URL,
try setting up a forward page on the existing box perhaps?  Is it ALL
traffic to a specific IP?
