Domain transition

[John Hoge]

I'm transitioning a site from domainX.com to domainY.com, and I want
to redirect all traffic from the old domain to the new. If I set up
domainX.com under IIS to "redirect to a URL" the browser does not
redirect to the new domain, so the user never knows of the change. I
can put a response.redirect in the default.asp page of the old site,
but that will not redirect deep links. Any clues?

Thanks,
John

Disable domainx.com in IIS or change it to domainy.com. Then setup a new
site and make it domainx.com. Give it no pages, and use a custom 404 for
that site to redirect to domainy.com.

Change the default.asp page to redirect, as you suggest. Then delete the
rest of the old site and change the 404 error page to be default.asp.
