Guessing the clients can resolve "tracking" to the correct server
through the DNS you've set up....
Otherwise the IE(vil) Users must add that custom hostname and the
correcponding IP-address in their hosts file.
then I'd set up a virtual host like that...
<VirtualHost 123.123.123.123:80>
ServerName tracking
Redirect / http://tracking.somewhere.else/
</VirtualHost>
No need to have a docroot etc.
