I would assume that search engines don't care if there are multiple paths to the same content, as long as only one is linked to. If you are consistent within your symfony application the links should all use one nomenclature and thus there is no problem.
We generally avoid displaying 404s because customers get pissed by 404s -- much better to redirect them to the canonical location. jbw On 10/20/07, Jonathan Franks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have read often that search engines don't like to find the same > content accessible from multiple urls.
