If it makes no difference to you, it should make no
difference to search engines. They will all get the
correct page from the server.

Directories
If you have been listed by one of the directories
(eg: Yahoo, Looksmart, Open Directory), look for a
link to update, rather than resubmit. If you can't
do that, try to contact an editor first. Most
directories consider multiple URLs for the same page
to be spamming, so it is important to explain
yourself.
Search engines
Each search engine works in a different way. Many of
them resolve your URL to an IP number -- which will,
of course, be exactly the same as before. It could
be misunderstood as a crude spamming technique -- if
so, your pages will still be indexed, but your
ranking might suffer. None of this will affect you
unless you have a high ranking now -- you can't lose
what you haven't got! Check the major search engines
-- are you in top thirty for your most important
keywords? If the answer is 'no', concentrate on
developing stronger content for your pages. If the
answer is 'yes', concentrate on getting into the top
ten. Don't worry about this issue.
