Thanks for the response. Can you do this with a HTTP redirect with httpHeader? Or is IIS the only way to do this?

This will kill a robot immediately (google at least). A 404 is a page not found and will stop the bot in its tracks. You should use a 301 redirect. To do this in IIS, go to properties/Home Directory. Click a "redirection to a URL." Fill in the complete URL including "http://"; in the Redirect to: field. Check the "Exact URL Entered Above" box. Check the "Permanent Redirect for this Resource" box. >Windows 2003 Web Edition, R:Tango 5.0 >Still rewriting all to multi domains/one set of apps. > >Some of my tafs had to move to different folders.
