I'm trying to convert a large website of a major university library system to EZpublish. However, I'm concerned about disrupting the experience of users who have created bookmarks for information that is useful to them. If they go to www.mydomain.com/subpage.html I'd like to direct them to the new location for that content or at least give them a message with an explaination of why their bookmark is suddenly pointing to the library's frontpage. With the Apache virtual host rewrite rules everything is redirected to the EZPublish default page. Has anyone converting an existing site found a way to give users the new location of information, or is this just something I have to "deal with" in converting to EZPublish?
Thanks, Shaun

I'm answering my own question here... I think this will work:
