Subject: Re: Redirects
Is the current "www4" a Linux or Windows machine? 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
