You might want to use the 301 Moved Permanently code in place of 302 redirect.
Also, see the various threads on "no-cache" directives in headers. You may have issues with proxy servers that have cached the old content.

Hi Chuck,
MS Internet Explorer has a Security setting to disable META REFRESH (look
under Miscellaneous).
HTML Meta tag redirects are generally ignored by Search engines.
An actual HTTP redirect command (302) is more reliable than the Meta tag
(and recognized by Search engines), but is still subject to the adopted
behavior and stability of the browser.
Hope this helps....

Is there a surefire way to redirect to an alternate page, given all the platforms and browsers that exist? Does the meta below do the trick, 100% of the time? Are there browser setting that prohibit/warn about such things, if they're within the same domain?
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=New.html" />
</head>
