Say I have a product X, with 10 sub products, x1, x2, x3, x4, etc. I decide to set product X as not-for-sale, remove subproducts, and turn each subproduct into an individual top-level products, listed separately in my store. (I'm thinking thumbnails in the search results communicate more clearly to a customer that the product has many color options, than does anything I can put on the product page or even tag the thumbnail with)
I don't want to just set original product X to inactive or not-for-sale, because the Product X is a popular landing page.... so what to do?
If I create a category: "previous subproducts of Product X" can I do a server-level redirect to permanently redirect traffic going to "viewPrd.asp?idproduct=X" to Category:"previous subproducts of Product X"?
I've never tried redirecting a productcart page and wanted to check before trying and potentially sending our customers all directions.

If you server has the URL Rewrite snap-in for IIS running, you could add the following rule to the <rewrite><rules> node of your web.config file:
<rule name="ProductX Redirect" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^viewprd.asp" /> <conditions> <add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="idproduct=X" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="viewcategories.asp?idcategory=Y" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule>
