Wouldn't the best experience be to make the redirect as seamless as 
possible (unnoticeable)? It's fairly easy to do, and doesn't need to be 
maintained, only set up. Prevents putting the onus on users to change 
their links or bookmarks. Most users, I would imagine, don't care about 
the address, only in accessing the content on the page.
