fwadmin Do you plan on owning the old domain still once it has migrated? If you will keep the old domain I would bother with this page and would just perform a 301 redirect and leave it be. You might be able to add in an additional action to add in a referer HTTP header and allow the destination server to add in a pop-up saying the site changed and when the old name will no longer be used.
