You can do this with .htaccess, but it isn't very reliable. The main
problem that you will come across is that some user agents won't send a
referrer when requesting a page, so they will *always* be redirected to
your homepage.

To be honest, I can't see /why/ you are trying to do this? Could you
explain your rationale so that we could perhaps suggest something
better?
