i would also advise implementing one-to-one redirects in that script rather than redirecting large numbers of urls to a small number of hubs unless you truly believe that's the best experience for the visitor.

if you're doing it for PR reasons it won't go well.

your other option is provide a 404 or 410 response as appropriate and specify a custom error document that provides sufficient navigation and search for the visitor to find what they were hoping to see when they clicked the link to your old url.
