I didn't give it any thought.

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

The Unix box (www) is going away and the www4 (windows box) will be renamed

the new server directory structure. I thought about creating a www folder and
putting all of the redirects/forwards in it. Is this possible?

Then use the Linux mod_rewrite redirect below on the current "www" box and you
should be good to go. 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;
}
}

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.
