Duh, why didn't I think of that??? :(
My 404 is customized so they get a friendly message and have all the
navigation, etc. But it would make sense to check the page requested and
redirect all traffic for the gallery pages right to the gallery.
Thanks BJ!

Once upon a time when I changed a site around, I would leave 'stub' pages to
replace all the missing ones with a This page has moved message and a
redirect after 5 seconds. Now I do a custom 404 that looks like a regular
page on the site, including all the navigation, with the 404 type message in
the body, see http://www.the-british-chihuahua-club.org.uk/nosuchpage.htm
for example. But to make it transparent to the user just put some ASP code
in the page (before anything else so headers aren't sent) that checks for
gallery calls and does a redirect (in ASP that's Response.Redirect(URL)

Subject: [wdvltalk] Pages moved - Best way to handle?
Hi Gang -
I built a site about a year and a half ago as an emergency - and favor
- to the owner. It wasn't exactly what we wanted but it worked at the
time.
About a month ago, I rebuilt the site. The most significant change
(other than cosmetics) was the location of the gallery. It moved from
static pages located in /images/gallery/ to dynamic pages located in
/gallery/.
As you can imagine, a lot of the pages are cached. I have a custom
404 page that shoots me a message when someone hits the page. 99% of
them are for the old gallery. Some are from legitimate surfers, some are
from bots.
Yes, I'm getting tired of all these messages.
Other than removing the alert email from the 404 message, does anyone
have any suggestions on the proper way to handle this? Is there
anything I can/should do? Everything is running ASP on Windows 2003
running IIS 6. I also should note that I have full access to the
domains DNS. I'm wondering if I can set up something that says
anything for http://www.site.com/images/gallery/*; should just go to
http://www.site.com/gallery/gallery.asp;?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Todd
