Redirect Script to New Domain

Looking for a script/method! (Unix server)

Our organization has undergone a name change, hence a new domain name. Search engines are still directing people to our pages from either the old or new domain. We'd like to display a redirect page to the new for users entering from the former domain. Can anyone provide a (server side?) script and some instructions? Must we cease support of the old domain before implementing this?

Couldn't you just put up a page saying that the domain has moved, with a link to the new content?

Our reasons were to flag users using all our search engine links still pointing to old domain. Also, we're trying to install Search on our site and old domain hits are causing mega problems! We're trying to kill the old domain for that reason.
