You have provided too little information for anyone to really help.
1) What is your website's architecture?
 A) What kind of OS on the servers
 B) What kind of software on the servers
 C) Is it hosted on dedicated hardware or on a third party software
 D) Do you use some sort of 3rd party software to get to your page (eg
you rely on a company to send customers to your page.)
2) What do you mean by redirect. In small steps explain how a user
normally gets to and sees your site and what happens when it doesnt
work

That might be enough info for someone to start helping out (although
to really help someone would need to know where the site is etc.)
