If it makes no difference to you, it should make no
difference to search engines. They will all get the
correct page from the server.

Directories
    If you have been listed by one of the directories
    (eg: Yahoo, Looksmart, Open Directory), look for a
    link to update, rather than resubmit. If you can't
    do that, try to contact an editor first. Most
    directories consider multiple URLs for the same page
    to be spamming, so it is important to explain
    yourself.

Search engines
    Each search engine works in a different way. Many of
    them resolve your URL to an IP number -- which will,
    of course, be exactly the same as before. It could
    be misunderstood as a crude spamming technique -- if
    so, your pages will still be indexed, but your
    ranking might suffer. None of this will affect you
    unless you have a high ranking now -- you can't lose
    what you haven't got! Check the major search engines
    -- are you in top thirty for your most important
    keywords? If the answer is 'no', concentrate on
    developing stronger content for your pages. If the
    answer is 'yes', concentrate on getting into the top
    ten. Don't worry about this issue.
