Any domain name provider worth their salt will allow you to set a redirect within their DNS admin section. Be very surprised if your's doesnt.

Login to the site of whoever you bought your domain name off.

Would that work, as the OP would probably want the redirect to go directly to his profile page on LinkedIn, and not just the host itself?

You might want to alert the user and put off the redirect for a few seconds. Another option would be to load the linkedin page in a frame.

Burn it!!! At least use an iframe...
