Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The basic steps outlined below should work. CAVEAT: I'm a linux/apache person I don't know the specific implementation details for a windows/.net environment (but I believe it IS do-able - hopefully someone else can verify or expand on that) 1)  Copy the default index (default.aspx) to a new name (example: mydefault.aspx) Make mydefault.aspx the directory index for the root directory Modify the original default.aspx so that all it contains is a redirect to _http://www.outsolve-hr.com/_ 4)  NOW default.aspx can be 301'd safely 5)  Don't ever build any links to "mydefault.aspx" or you'll just re-create the problem! Existing links to default.aspx would then be resolved safely and it's highly unlikely new ones to  mydefault.aspx will appear. Probably worth looking into, since a 301 is more powerful - rel=canonical is viewed by some search engines as more of a "suggestion."
