If you redirect, the browser should display the new domain name so it doesn't sound like you're really doing a redirect (301 or 302). Are you sure you are not doing a proxy request for the redirected domain? This would be the case if you use mod_rewrite with the [P] flag.

Alternatively, the fact that the redirect domain is just an IP address may confuse the browser - but then it's a browser issue. What happens if you:

- redirect to a real domain name
- try another browser
