sorry, by the time I read and posted, a few people put responses in.

Results in 302

Code:

Redirect / http://www.domain.com/

Results in 302

Code:

<?php
  header("Location: http://newsite.com/");
?>

Results in 302

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 http://newsite.com

Results in 301

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* http://domain.com/ [R=301,L]

h20neil's suggestion of parking a domain on another, or overlaying, will also work. The problem there is that google could see both domains serving the same content and knock one out for the dupe page penalty.
