Use "Redirection to a url" option. Try that option.

Answer 2

To access a web site using an IP adress, that web site has to be the default web site for the server.

A web server can host plenty of web sites using the same IP, the server determines which web site will handle the request from the domain name. The server can also have a default web site without a domain name, which handles requests without a domain name.
