Lightning Address Question - how to redirect?

> Proxy the request to the destination LN address?

Thank you, that sounds like what I think I'm trying to do. Can you point me in the right direction for where I can learn more about this? Thank you. 

Good question, this is for a community project. We want to offer our community their name@ourdomain.com lightning address & NIP-05 verification if they wish to represent @ourdomain. The idea would be that they could provide whatever lightning address they want to redirect it too. 

Lightning addresses are pretty awesome, they're the things that look like email addresses. You can learn more about them [here](https://lightningaddress.com/) or at the [github](https://github.com/andrerfneves/lightning-address). Here's a diagram of how it works:

My question is about redirection. For example, If I have a lightning address with a hosted provider like myusername@zbd.gg or myusername@coinos.io etc, how do i set up the file at mydomain.com/.well-known/lnurlp/myusername so that when people send to myusername@mydomain.com it will automatically redirect them to the hosted provider, e.g. myusername@zbd.gg? Is that something that can be done? Thank you!
