Che is using a 301 redirect, which is a permanent redirect. AFAIK search engines tend to penalize 302 (temporary) redirects, but are fine with 301s.
I would agree that DNS would generally be considered the best solution, followed by a 301 redirect in IIS, followed by a 301 in ColdFusion. 301s are really easy to set up in IIS. I don't have easy access to an IIS 6 site right now, but it's under the "home directory" tab or something like that. Then choose the correct option in there and make sure you choose that it's a permanent redirection. - Andrew.
