I am not a real web Guru, but there is a way, (I have seen it happen when
I have been browsing, but could not see what exactly happened.) to have a
URL tell the browser to get the document from the New URL. of course
this requires that the old address still works.

I have NO idea how to do this... but whould love to know. I did move one
page to a new name at achilles, and so I had to leave a page that just
says basicaly "please select here".

Another reason to think about having a "vanity" domain name...
