You must create a public function in your payment model called: getOrderPlaceRedirectUrl() and returns the (internal) URL where you should implement the code for the redirection. You can take a look at paypalStandard method to figure out exactly what to do.

Follow steps to create a custom payment gateway, here are some options. Then for the redirect to an external url, use this function: _redirectUrl().

$this->_redirectUrl('https://www.yourwebsite.com');

To redirect when the customer places an order:

In your gateway Model:

public function getOrderPlaceRedirectUrl()
{
return Mage::getUrl('payment_gateway/index/redirect');
}

In your gateway Index Controller:

public function redirectAction() 
{
$this->_redirectUrl('https://www.yourwebsite.com');
}
