Whether you sent "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" from Witango, ASP, ASP.NET or configured under IIS directly - they all work basically the same, as far as Browsers or search engines are concerned.
Remember, HTTP is a layer independent from Witango, the Webserver or the client (browser). Recently I've done a lot of this using all of the above for several different Servers (mine and some customers), including using the 404 trick to a special Witango TAF that did the "301" output, and I had equal success with all the methods. Note: under Witango, it's probably pointless to include the <@userreferencecookie> in the redirect - because the key that is potentially issued will not work under a different domain (the one you redirect to). Hope this helps. Cheers....
