Technically you can by hijacking the DNS request to your own http server and then do the redirect there but it does mean you'll need to run and maintain your own DNS nameserver and http server on your local network. There are also limitations

If this is one particular user then you can edit the "hosts" files on their device to do this. On some third-party routers, it's also possible once again by editing the router's own hosts files. Yes, you can do a proper redirect, but usually, the hosts file is enough!
