Not sure I've worded the subject correctly, but here's the existing mess I'm trying to clean up.

Our client has published on the homepage a link to /rss/feed.xml for the public to subscribe to their RSS feed.  Problem is they USED to update date this manually.  Well, now I've created a proper Press Release page that syndicates RSS feed.  Great.

Now, I want the capture requests for rss/feed.xml and direct it to this NEW feed so anyone who has ALREADY subscribed won't get errors whe (if) I delete that file .. plus, we don't wnat to notify EVERYONE who has subscribed to update the URL to the new Press Release feed.

Make sense?  Can it be done?

Is there no way I could use the DNN Friendly URL functions to intercept requests to /rss/feed.xml and direct it to a different feed?

I think you're going to have to bite the bullet on this one.  A suggestion would be to write one last blog/article that gets fed through the /rss/feed.xml file - which basically tells anyone who is subscribed to update their feeds to the new one.  And be done with it.  Just state that the feed will be deleted on xxx date, xxx months from now.

In order for the url rewritting to work - you'd have to associate the .xml extension to be executed by the .NET framework.  Then my guess is that it'd mess all the other .xml calls up...so it's just not worth any of the trouble.
