This would involve checking the users info for what browser they are using,
then having those that have netscape to one URL and those that don't to
another URL.
This is one way to do it:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if ((navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "4")
||(navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "5")) {
 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape")
  browser="netscape";
 if (navigator.appName != "Netscape")
  browser="others";
}

if (browser == "netscape") {
window.location.href="http://netscapepageurlhere";
}

if (browser == "others") {
window.location.href="ie.html";
}
</script>

Hope that this is what you're after.
