Hi, Nick,
I would recommend to use webserver tools to route the traffic to different
handlers.
For example, to handle legacy URLs for bsdradius.org I use mod_redirect in
lighttpd:
---------
# legacy urls
url.redirect = (
"index\.php$" => "/",
"about\.php$" => "/about/",
"doc\.php$" => "/doc/",
"changelog\.php$" => "/changelog/",
"license\.php$" => "/license/",
"downloads\.php$" => "/downloads/",
"contact\.php$" => "/contact/",
)
--------
I think that it would not be too complicated to define some prefix for the
old site and some prefix for the new Django powered site and then use
mod_redirect to route the traffic.
Best regards,
Valts.
