Is it possible to tweak a htaccess file to redirect all ips to another website except one specific ip (ie mine which is static)?
What I want to do is build up a new modx site in-place while sending potential site visitors to the old site which is hosted at another domain.
There is an easier way. Create a weblink to your other site, and set it to be the "offline" document in the Configuration section, and also set the site "offline".
Logged-in Admin users will see the new site as usual, all other users will get the "offline" page and be redirected to your old site.

Am I correct that for this to work the redirect mechanism which is currently defined in the htaccess file needs to be removed? Instead some document based redirecting (is a redirect instruction possible in html?) will have to be created to do the redirecting after installing ModX?
PS: to the moderator(s): feel free to move this to offtopic

No, you can use the default .htaccess, just do what susan said.

Yes, add this to <head> section:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="
5;url=
http://url.to.redirect.to">
Where 5 is the time in seconds to wait before doing the redirect and url is where to redirect to.
