I doubt you could do this at the DNS level. Reddit probably loads static assets from `reddit.com`.
You could perhaps intercept the HTTP requests, but that would require decrypting SSL, so you'd have to MITM yourself if you wanted to do it at the network level.
You'd replace the DNS request for `reddit.com` to some device that intercepts the traffic. That device would redirect the HTTP request to `old.reddit.com` if applicable; static assets would be routed to `reddit.com`. I don't know how things like HSTS and certificate pinning fit into an idea like this.
Doing this at the device level is probably easiest. I've used Redirector [0] in the past and it works well.

- njitram 3y agoI found this extension that makes it even easier, and you can configure it to go to either old.reddit.com or new.reddit.com (instead of going to 3rd generation even worse sh.reddit.com) without having to configure Redirector: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ui-changer-for-reddit/bfcldjodnnkndfccfjndmdlppfkmccgh https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ui-changer-for-redd...
