I have a site done in Coldfusion. I am using a Coldfusion redirect:
. The redirect works fine. Here is a copy of log file: 2003-08-25 23:51:42 64.68.82.37 - 216.119.105.20 GET /Vendors/Hoover/Hoover.cfm - 200 331 267 0 HTTP/1.0 www.def.com Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) - -
2003-08-25 23:51:43 64.68.82.37 - 216.119.105.20 GET /Vendors/Hoover/Hoover.cfm - 200 11769 257 0 HTTP/1.0 www.abc.com Googlebot/2.1+(+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)
As you can see the redirect worked fine. My question is why don't the pages from the redirect show up in the index. I implemented this redirect almost a month ago. Freshbot or Freshdeepbot comes to my site almost everyday. I would think that it would have to show up in the index. But it only shows up in the index as www.def.com. My goal is to get rid of the pointer domain but until I can get everything indexed I do not want to get rid of it.

If I'm reading your logs correctly, the first request received an HTTP 200 status response. What kind of redirect is it?
