Catch All Redirect

We host personalized websites that are generated on the fly on a per campaign basis. Currently, when a campaign is over, we simply take down the site. Now, we are looking to have any post-campaign visitors directed to a generic page, "sorry we missed you..." Typically we will setup a subdomain for each campaign, something like subdomain.domain.com/firstname.lastname, so how can I get all of those personalized sites to direct to subdomain.domain.com/missed.aspx?

Just put a Response.Redirect in your default page's Page_Load method.

Example in C#:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Response.Redirect("http://bytes.com");

Are you saying that I would take down the original page, and just replace it with a page containing a simple redirect such as this?

You don't even really have to take it down, you could just add that line as the first line of code in the Page_Load method.

Or you could put a tag like this in the <head> section of your HTML:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://bytes.com">

Either way it is up to you.

I'm sure that there is a way to configure IIS to do the redirects for you, but I'm not an expert there.

This would be a way to redirect pages that exist, but what about pages that do not exist(404 errors). Given these are personalized pages that are generated on the fly, how would I handle those best?

Note-
I have attempted to setup web.config custom error pages for 404 errors, but redirects are not working properly. I have head that this method of redirects is very inconsistant.

Well, if you go into IIS, you can check the properties of a site, and set the custom error pages there. Maybe that will work for you.
