The bigger question is, what is it you are doing in the interim process, and is a redirect truly necessary? If this is a logging process, why aren't you just logging in your onRequestEnd? By doing the 301, the Search Engines are going to index and catalog the page being directed to. This means that users coming from the search engine would get links directly to the redirected page, skipping the interim process currently in place.
Sounds like you need to build a better mousetrap.
