I would suggest handling those at the web server level, with a 303 status code to let the search engines know the redirect is temporary, rather than through the application - with the exception of perhaps some dynamic redirects that need to be changed "on-the-fly". Much more efficiently handled at the web server level. Linux redirect to "ww4" example: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.esu\.edu [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*) http://ww4.esu.edu$1 [L,R=307] Windows IIS web.config redirect example: <rule name="Redirect www2www4 temp" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll"> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(.*\.)www\.esu\.edu$" ignoreCase="true" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="http://ww4.esu.edu/{R:1}" redirectType="Temporary" /> </rule> HTH, Jon On Nov 10, 2014, at 3:39 PM, Steve LaBadie <slaba...@po-box.esu.edu> wrote: > > We are currently using a meta date redirect from a UNIX box.
