I am planning the launch of a new site and trying to figure out the best way to redirect users from the old site.

The old site (200+ pages) will be completely retired. I'm planning on moving the domain name to our new server, but the only page that will remain will be the index page. The site was built on a CMS that is not compatible with an Apache server.

The new site has a completely different page hierarchy, page titles, and domain name. So, I'd like some guidance on the best techniques to do the following:


Anytime someone visits the old_domain_name.com, either from Google or other external links I'd like for them to be redirected to new_domain_name.com. i think this can be accompliched with a simple Javascript redirect from old_domain_name.com.
When someone tries to visit old_domain_name.com/about_us.htm I'd like for them to be redirected to new_domain_name.com/new_directory/about.htm. I'd need to do this for 200+ pages.


Any insight will be appreciated.

Thanks!
