We did this a bit different.  We created a custom error page in classic asp and redirected the 404’s to that in IIS. The custom asp read the dnn database to read from the list that tells what requests will go to which pages. That way the redirection can be defined inside of DNN from the host menu.

One on the reasons I would like DNN to handle this is so a DNN/tadid/rename won't occur and cause me to have to manually go readjust the redirection.

You can do it with SiteUrls.config if you don't mind using an extension intead of just a folder:

    <RewriterRule>
      <LookFor>.*PageBlaster.aspx</LookFor>
      <SendTo>~/Default.aspx?tabid=589&amp;ProductID=10</SendTo>
    </RewriterRule>

Goes to http://www.snapsis.com/PageBlaster.aspx

Thanks mikeh, your answer is VERY CLEAR and it works.

John Mitchell, your answer sounds very interesting to me, but I was not able to make it working...
Could you please tell me where is my mistake please ???
My portal is based on http://domain.com/digital. I would like this URL http://domain.com/digital/TestHELP/tabid/66/Default.aspx to be replaced by http://domain.com/digital/help.aspx

I have done the following, but it does not work:
<RewriterRule>
      <LookFor>*/digital/help.aspx</LookFor>
      <SendTo>~/digital/TestHELP/tabid/66/Default.aspx</SendTo>
    </RewriterRule>

Where is my mistake ??? (I have also tried other combination without any success!)
Is there also the possibility to use friendly url instead of modifying the SiteUrls.config ??

Hi Declic,

Your problem is that you are sending it to another "friendly url".  Do your RewriterRule like this:

<RewriterRule>
      <LookFor>.*/digital/help.aspx</LookFor>
      <SendTo>~/Default.aspx?tabid=66</SendTo>
    </RewriterRule>

I would like to use a folder because we were advertising the old FrontPage subdirectory folder name and not an extension. I would like http://domain.com/subweb to be the URL users submit. And that would take them to the DNN toplevel menu item's "page" named "subweb". 

 The page name is arbitrary of course. It could just as well be a page named "wonka", and I still would like the url http://domain.com/subweb to be able to point it. I am begining to see my problem. THe old FrontPage subweb model was hard coded to the folder name. DNN portal pages do not really care about the folder name as it applies to the calling URL.

What's an old FrontPage subweb guy to do?  *sigh*
