htaccess alternative

Can anybody recommend method of creating global redirecting scripts other than htaccess?

We currently use htaccess to direct visitors who try and access pages which have been deleted or renamed to a page which gives them a list of alternatives. htaccess is also useful for globally directing visitors to a temporary page during development by typing one line of code we can avoid updating sitwide links to a single page.

We want to be able to run a similar script from a windows server because we need full support for asp too, and it is apparently impossible to run these htaccess redirecting scripts on a windows server. (a linux server won't support all of the asp functionality that we need).


Thank You.
