Symfony2 routing.yml to external url

My question is: How can I generate external url from routing.yml?

I want something similar to:

documentation_product1:
    pattern:  /my/documentation/product1.php
    default:  http://www.myothersite.com/product1

Is it possible or something similar?

It is possible to redirect within a controller to an external site

documentation_product1:
pattern:  /my/documentation/product1.php
defaults:  { _controller: AcmeBundle:Product:show }

// in controller
$this->redirect('http://www.myothersite.com/product1');

But it is not a good practise.

It is better to use the RedirectController from the FrameworkBundle.(mantioned by Paulpro)

Doku:

Symfony routes the requested url to a pair of controller and action to execute. It does only internal redirects.

For a redirect to an external URL you need .htaccess and mod_rewrite (if you use apache).
