I've seen it done before. A user used a free DNS registrar to point his domain to. His domain then pointed to his house computer through the free DNS registrar. And then from his house computer it would log the stats and request pages from the main server.
How can this be done?

Ok let me try one more time.
Websites DNS points to something like ns1.freednsserver.com , ns2.freednsserver.com. Those nameservers point to a home computer. The home computer then queries the page with the main server and displays it. So the website goes to one server however that server (which doesn't have the files or pages but instead gets the page from another server).

May wanna try adding this to your httpd.conf :
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
ServerName www.domain.com
redirect / http://www.file_location.com/directory
</VirtualHost>
Don't know if this will accomplish what you are looking for but worth a try. Obviously you are substituting the domain name and directory info with yours.

It's basically like a gateway computer. So what it does, is it redirects the user to another computer yet shields the IP of that other one.
