Maybe you should set http://xn--lsgaard-p1a.dk/ to redirect to http://olsgaard.dk/

Why do most Danes use Ø or Æ in their names, but not Å?

(The chance of HN recognizing the first URL as a URL? 1%? ... Oh, it converted ølsgaard.dk to Punycode.)

I think because Å was added later than Ø or Æ (introduced in 1948 vs 1100 for the other two). People are hesitant to change the spelling of their names, so the old form "Aa" is still common in names like Aamand and Aagesen.

I thought I had set it up to redirect http ... for email it actually does redirect.
