Is there a specific reason you are not using url rewrite?

I need to be able to recreate the directory without making a mess out of the new server directory structure. I thought about creating a www folder and putting all of the redirects/forwards in it. Is this possible?

Since you've got Linux on www, you could also install NGINX (which makes a great HTTP proxy server) or use Apache to proxy traffic to ww4 while maintaining the "www" in the URL. You'll need to enable some IIS settings to allow for proxying and set a "www" handler on that machine, but once you do, that's pretty much it. Apache Example with mod_proxy: <Location /> ProxyPass http://www4.esu.edu ProxyPassReverse http://www4.esu.edu SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 Order allow,deny Allow from all </Location> NGINX proxy example: server { listen 80; server_name esu.edu www.esu.edu; access_log /var/log/nginx/esu.edu.access.log main; location / { proxy_pass http://www4.esu.edu:80; include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf; } } Jon On Nov 10, 2014, at 3:54 PM, Steve LaBadie <[email protected] <javascript:;>> wrote: > > www4 is a windows box > > Steve LaBadie, Web Manager > East Stroudsburg University > 570-422-3999 > [email protected] <javascript:;> > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Clausen [mailto:[email protected] <javascript:;>] > Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 3:54 PM > To: cf-talk > 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 > > > > On Nov 10, 2014, at 3:39 PM, Steve LaBadie <[email protected] <javascript:;>> wrote: > >> >> We are currently using a meta date redirect from a UNIX box.
