You can do this with mod_rewrite.  You'll need to use rewrite
conditions, as usually URL arguments are not considered.  See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/ for guidance, but something
like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} feed=rss2
RewriteRule ^$	/?feed=podcast [R=301]

which redirects requests for feed=rss2 to feed=podcast -- I think that's
what you're trying to do, but I could have it backwards, in which case
just swap over the appropriate strings in the obvious way.

Untested, but you should be able to get the idea.

	Cheers,
