Hi Chris
Many Thanks for that.
Whats the difference between a rewrite and a redirect. I mean is there
a reason as to why I need a 301 ( I was just told to issue a 301 by
someone else). If I don't put an R in on the rewrite whats the default
return? Can I also issue an R=404?
Please excuse my ignorance
Thanks
Shaz
