[thelist] Redirects on IIS for SEO

Hi Todd,

If you are on IIS7 (or later) there is a native rewrite module you can use to rewrite paths.
A custom 404 error page is another option
Alternatively, redirects can be configured in IIS directly (if know that all requests for a particular folder should go to another folder, for example)

Cheers
Ken
