use an htaccess redirect to do this. are you on apache?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jobs\.mysite\.com$ [NC]
# if the request URI is empty send to forum 2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  https://jobs.mysite.com/forums/trabajos.2/ [L,R=301]

Wouldn’t it be better (and simpler) to just set that forum as index page route in ACP > basic options?

That's certainly an option. Without knowing the rest of the site, that's not exactly what he asked for.

Correct but I suggested it as something that may better for SEO. Otherwise the site has no root URL. Granted redirects probably have minimal impact on SEO but it’s an important URL.
