use mod_redirect, which you're already looking at. Put in two (or more)
redirect servers, and round-robin or otherwise combine them for no single
points of failure.
An interesting design could use all the servers as redirection servers,
using the scripting language of your choice to generate a custom
redirection "map" for each server. No single points of failure there.
