IIS Redirection - Server 2012 R2

on Server 2012 IIS how do I redirect URL to a sub domain

so http://somewebsite.someserver.com --> http://someserver.com/somewebsite

so when a user types in http://somewebsite.someserver.com it will go to the website site http://someserver.com/somewebsite

Dunno about 2012, but recently did this on 2008.

IIS Manager..
Highlight the site
Choose URL Rewrite from the choices
Build an expression to match URL to someschizzle.host.com
Rewrite to
host.com
Append Query String (or not - upto your application).

There's all sorts of stuff you can then do with regex searches to match different pages/query strings etc if you only sometimes want to redirect.

http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httpredirect

Did you even try to find this out for yourself?

I looked into HTTP redirect, but does not fit my purpose as I want to redirect a request to a domain name to a virtual directory within IIS

the above is ideal if you redirect say to another IIS server

Use the URL rewriting module addon as skyripper suggested, unless of course you have a load balancer in front of your website in which case I'd use that instead.
