I have to agree with Robert. The 353.html approach, although easy to implement for the programmers, violates a lot of sound principles in information design. If you site is bookmarked and indexed by a search engine, you are definitely going to have some problems (not to mention just confusing the heck out of people). Now that you have planning to do aliasing, you are just band-aiding a bad design. There could have been better strategies to use from the beginning I would think though I won't go into them here.
