I have an old, static website: www.oldsite.com (with pages such as www.oldsite.com/contact.htm and www.oldsite.com/news.htm) and I'd like to redirect it to a new website: www.newsite.com. The new site is dynamic/Umbraco and it has 301 URL Tracker installed. I need to map the old URLs to new equivalents, via 301s. This would be simple if the domain was the same, but I wondered if there's any way to get it working with a changed domain name?
If I bind the old domain to the new one in IIS then this will push all requests to the new site, but would it be possible to get 301 URL Tracker to handle these and redirect to the new pages on the new domain? (If I bound both domains in IIS and set both domains as host names on the Umbraco content tree, would that work?)
I guess the other option would be to do the IIS binding and add a redirect map in IIS, but there are 100s of redirects so I'm not sure how well this would perform or whether it would interfere with 301 URL Tracker.
The final option would be to keep the two sites independent and install ISAPI_Rewrite on the old site.
Redirect from old to new domain
Hi,

Any thoughts much appreciated.
