Not sure how I would create a 410 on a windows platform or with ISAPI Rewrite which would be more important because I'm currently using ISAPI to redirect to a 404 state. ISAPI doesn't appear to have a [G] switch. If it does, it's not in the documentation.

Anyhow, with a 404 I can at least use the removal tool to get those pages out of the index and that is better than any other option I have right now. The only problem is that I have to remove the pages one at a time and there is about 800 of them.

BTW, Google still hasn't gotten back to me yet either on how they would suggest resolving the problem. That is the one thing that really frustrates me, getting any kind of response from Gooogle is like trying pull teeth. It's not like I'm asking for the recipe to the algo or anything. I presented a very real technical problem that had no intent to game their search engine or anything. I would have thought that they would have completely ignored one of the two urls, or treated them as the same since the only difference was the presence of some uppercase letters in one. but I guess I'm wrong.

It wasn't my intention to steal this thread, although I have appreciated all the feedback from people with suggests on resolving my unintentional duplicate content issue.
