Redirect question

[Friscia, Michael]

I’m wondering how to achieve this in the config

I have a url like this
http://example.com/people/mike

and I want to redirect to
https://www.othersite.com/users/mike

the problem at hand is switching “/people/” to “/users/” but keep everything else so if I was to have
http://example.com/people/mike/education?page=1
I would still get redirected to
https://www.othersite.com/users/mike/education?page=1

I currently have redirects where I just append $request_uri to the new domain name but in this case I need to alter the $request_uri before I use it. So the question is how should I approach making this sort of change?
