Redirect a single URL request to another domain

I've checked other posts here and can't find anything matching my specific situation.

What I'm trying to do is this (with IIS).

I want visitors to my site, if they request this URL "http://www.example.com/EarlyRegistration" to be automatically redirected to "http://info.example.com/EarlyRegistration" however, that sits on a different server, so I can't simply do it via a virtual directory.

What steps do I need to follow to do this? I'm extremely confused trying to figure it out from MS's documentation.

The urlrewrite module for IIS can help with this. Please see the documentation at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/creating-rewrite-rules-for-the-url-rewrite-module

I tried the following rule (obviously with my own urls at the time) and worked

    <rule name="Redirect for EarlyRegistration" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="EarlyRegistration" />
        <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" />
        <action type="Redirect" url="http://info.example.com/EarlyRegistration" />
    </rule>

What it does: matches the portion after the "/" in the URL to EarlyRegistration. If true, redirects. Make sure this is the first rule you have in the ruleset if you have others.
