You just need to point domain x at y in the domain options, but im guessing your trying to do a meta refresh? thats blackhat.

The fastest way to do a redirect is by setting it up in your .htaccess file.
If you do a meta refresh to do the redirect then the first server will have to actually serve up a page, and then the redirect is accomplished by the html page. If you do a redirect in your .htaccess page then rather than serving up an html page, the server will just serve up a 301 return code with the url of the new domain. It's pretty much instantaneous that way, almost as fast as if the link was actually pointing to the target domain.
Using .htaccess for a redirect won't blank the referer though. If you're doing something blackhat where you need to blank the referer then you'll just have to put up with the delay.
Here's some recent threads with explanations on setting a redirect with htaccess.
