Maybe via a proxy.
Rather than install a proxy, do you think using our internal DNS would work? a CNAME?
Would that work, yes. But I don't think that you can isolate it to requests from a single workstation.

Ugh, that would be nearly impossible! And worse to keep up with their changes!
Let's back up. What's the goal? What is making you want to do this?

Don't ask crazy questions like that, you'll get downvoted!

Relax, sensible questions do not get down voted.

Smile.Amazon.Com
I am tired of accidentally using www.amazon.com
I know, I know...... but it would make me happy to not have to worry about it. And for those of you who have seen the popup.......... it doesn't always show its face.....

The problem is when I click links that take me to amazon, like from an article. Sometimes amazon pop ups a reminder to switch to smile, and sometimes it does not.
It's not a big deal on small orders, but yesterday's big order, that didn't go through smile, reminded me that I need to automate this somehow.

Oh, I see. Not sure that there is much of a fix for that. I'm surprised that Amazon doesn't have a system to deal with that.

If you use something like Firefox you can use url modifying add-ons.
This one for instance called URLRedirector looks like it will do the trick.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/urlredirector/
(github)I'm sure there are others that will do a similar job.
Maybe this one as well:
