Redirect mod?

[Deimos]

Just wondering, has anyone ever come up with a mod which allows you to use short url's to redirect to a paticular forum?

For instance

If I wanted to goto the general discussion forum here, instead of using

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=111

I could put in the address bar

http://www.vbulletin.org/gen

I tried using apache's htaccess file, but it doesn't seem to like the question mark in the URL
