URL Redirect Question

  • Sadly, my hosting provider uses IIS for both .NET and PHP hosting. Sucks, really. I use said provider because I work as a .NET developer. Here’s the problem:

    I set up my wife’s blog on said provider. Originally it was running on GraffitiCMS. Neither of us cared for Graffiti all that much, so I switched it over to WordPress. What I’m running into now is that I want 301 redirects from the Graffiti URLs to the WordPress URLs. I have a file matching both up. I just need a way of actually doing the redirection. Again, this is IIS, so no .htaccess, and IIS 6 at that.

    So here are my questions:
    1) Is there a way with WordPress or through a plugin it specify a second Permalink to a post? Would this be a good way to go about doing this? I don’t mind coding if I have to.
    2) My hosting provider is willing to charge me $40 bucks to upgrade to IIS (such BS) and set up the IIS redirection module (again total BS that they are even charging for this). Would this be a good way to go? Would it be better than the choice from answer one if one exists? Basically, is it worth it?
    3) This is for my wife’s cooking blog. Is it even worth the time/effort?
