If you still own the domain, you simply put of a single page that performs the action, or configure the server software (IIS, Apache, etc) to the new IP.

Alternativle (again if you still own the original domain, you can simply register the same IP address for both DNS entries.

If you DONT on the site anymore, then you are out of luck, and who ever does own it, can do what ever they like.

Create a simple index.HTML with this tag:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.yourwebsite.com">

If you are using Apache, you really should use a 301 redirect. Put the following in an .htaccess file on the root of the abc.com web server.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.xyz.com/$1 [R=301,L]

If you are using IIS, then you can set up a permanent redirect through the internet services manager.
