[thelist] redirecting server side

I goofed!!

This afternoon I sent out my company's newsletter and forgot to change the 
<base href> I put in the document to point to the live version of our 
site.  It is pointing to the working version.  We've reissued the 
newsletter with a brief explanation, apology, and emptied the working 
directory.  But I'm curious if there is a way of redirecting the requests 
to our working directory to the live site.

Both the live and working version are run in parallel directories located 
in the wwwroot folder.  The working version is mapped to be a subdirectory 
of the live site. Meaning the live site is accessed using 
http://www.applebycolorlab.com/ and the working is accessed using 
http://www.applebycolorlab.com/_working1/ .  ( I didn't setup the server 
this way, but have learned to live with it)

We're running IIS 4 on NT4 with SP6

Thanks
