Does anybody know the best sever side redirect to use for Windows 2k?

I need to redirect to the new version of the page and do not want to use a 301 and get penalized for duplicate page in SEs.

Thank you for any suggestions.

If you are staying on the same server and ASP server.transfer will do.

Thank you Ian.

Will it handle all on server side, in other words will it take place before the browser sees the page?

Yes - it does have to be on a page which is processed server side.

You do want a 301 it is a 302 that has those dup problems. If you are using ASP you can use ASP code to change the server header.

You can also achieve this through a "smart" 404 custom page:
