There is a redirect ability built in to the plugin interface, but it requests the user to push F3 to accept the redirect.
There is no way to automatically redirect anyone. It used to be possible to execute "connect ..." on the client, but this is one of the client commands blocked from being executed on the server. Some "honey pot" farms had as many as 50 servers redirecting to 1 server, which was annoying to players and considered abusive. Because of people like that, regular server operators can no longer use it in appropriate situations. The F3 option would be good though. I'm not sure which admin plugins support it. Check Mani, Beetle, and SourceMod to see.
