"If your Web server runs on Apache (and most of them do), this problem can be easily solved. It does not require using separate software, but rather an Apache extension called "mod_rewrite." This extension allows you to tell Apache to change (rewrite) URLs on the fly. We use it here at JimWorld in our forums. Try going here:
http://www.searchengineforums.com/apps/searchengine.forums
See what happens? You get dumped immediately to the "right" URL without a secondary redirect. Apache still shows you the right thing, but your browser location bar changes on the fly, and from that point forward, everything works properly."
I remember that 'mod-rewrite' was discussed on this list a few weeks ago, but I didn't pay any attention to it.
Does anyone know if the same thing can be done if you have a windows server?
