What are the chances of having ISAPI_Rewrite installed on discountASP.net's servers?

Our website recently has been completely revamped, new framework, new pages with new filenames and before uploading our new website i want to make sure that when someone clicks on a link that refers to an old page in a search engine, that they be redirected to the new page. DiscountASP.Net does not support any tools that allows for this to happen in an easy way.

I have looked all over for ways to do this without being penalized by search engines and have not found any solutions and this is currently holding us up from uploading our website.

ISAPI_Rewriteallows for this to happen on windows with iis servers and i was hoping it could be installed on DiscountASP.net's servers.

What are the chances of getting this tool installed ASAP?

Here is the link to this tool.

Ok, I'm sure you're aware of updating the search engines using 301 Redirect pages, but I'm posting this just in case. If you wanted to update each page with a 301 redirect,the code can be found in this link: http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/asp/301.aspDepending on the number of pages you have to update, this could be quite tedious.

Alternatively, I found an interesting method at http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=4711, where a user says "My ISP allows me to set a custom 404 page. I've created a PHP page for that, which does a syntax check on the requested URL, then tries to figure out what it should have been, and then creates a 301 redirect page." I don't see any reason this couldn't be done in an ASP page here.

You want url rewriting. You can also create a custom 404 page that redirects. I would recommend the url rewriter.
