Thank you all for the ideas on how to do it. Thanks for the information
about redirects also. Isn't there a way to clear the total number of
redirects though or make it so that a redirect isn't kept in the browser
history?
just dont do them too often. i had a buddy that did them with a site
and it killed it. he would redirect after various form posts and it
just ate away at that number of redirects. the browser keeps track of
them on tcp connections. so depending on some network settings those
connections remain after redirects. they would have to time out;
especially in the case with IE. Firefox i have set the redirect limit
pretty high.

The redirect limit only affects consecutive redirects, so as long as
your site is not redirecting to a page that redirects to another page
and so forth... you should be fine. It is actually a best practice to
redirect after every post to avoid re-posting when the user hits the
reloads the page or hits the back button (and to avoid that confirmation
propmpt: "The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA. If you
resend...").
