CFM to ASP.NET -- Best way to do this

    I have a client that is changing from ColdFusion (.cfm) pages to ASP.NET (.aspx) pages. From the SEO stand point, what's the best way to do this?

    So far, the best we've come up with is to set up a filter to redirect some specific pages (using the code found here: http://www.urlrewriter.net/index.php/reference/actions/redirect/), and set up custom error pages for any pages that slip through the cracks. My only concern about this is that I don't know if the rewriter code would be the same as a 301 redirect.

    Any advice?

    Thanks.

    I'd write a htaccess that rewrites the new .asp ending to the old .cfm. That is, to the outer world, it will look like everything is the same. that is the absolutely best way of doing it.

    Doesnt sounds like apache is even installed, so htaccess is probably not an option.

    UrlRewriter.NET supports regex, so you can easily 301 redirect all pages with a .cfm extention to the new .aspx pages as needed.
