FreeBSD/Routing Question - Techs Check This Out

Okay...I wanna see what ya'll know about this...

Working with 2 servers at 2 seperate datacenters...For reference Server A will be the main server and Server B will be the apache server...

I am setting up a routing scheme that basically involves having Server A route ip traffic to server B without doubling the bandwidth.

So I looked into using iptables and nats but that would use the same ammount of bandwidth on Server A and Server B...

I wanna do something similar as redirecting a request using apache...You know when you do a htaccess and put in redirect /folder http://www.otherserver.com/folder ... you know how that only uses b/w on otherserver.com not on the original server...

Basically I don't wanna do dns because that will lead to cacheing of the ip addresses and I plan on having the main box to handle redundacy of the secondary box(es)...

So is there another way to handle sending the traffic from *.domain.com to another ip without using DNS but using Server A to direct it?

Everything on domain.com and www.domain.com will be served by server A and Server B needs to handle *.domain.com

Okay any help is appreciated...

Bumps are nice too
