Redirect Puzzle

I could do it fine if it were Apache, but it's a MS server . . .

I'm designing a site for a client to replace his existing site. He's changing his domain name and his host. He has a domain name of his own for his existing site, but it's hosted (and was created) by Netease. Therefore I'm not certain if the client even has FTP access or the ability to change the site at all. It's running on a Microsoft server.

The existing site doesn't have such great rankings in the search engines, but I'd like to try to maintain what ranking it does have. So, I was figuring on just permanently redirecting the old pages to the corresponding pages on the new site.

Unfortunately, I have no experience whatsoever with Microsoft servers, or ASP (which is what his site is using). If it were Apache I could use .htaccess easily enough, but as it is I'm kind of stuck. What can I tell him to pass on to Netease so they can set things up to redirect properly? Is there one kind of redirect that would be better than another for this purpose? What kind of information do I even need to know? And have I gotten it across that I really have no clue what needs to be done? ;)

Any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Matthew

try this:

<%
response.redirect("mynewsite")
%>
