Here's what I did when we moved from IIS4 to the Raq3.

I created a folder on the main web to make the origonal URL valid (i.e.
www.domain.com/user/) then I created a index.html file with a refresh meta
tag to facilitate the move to the ACTUAL user directory of
www.domain.com/~user/

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=../~user/">

You can set the refresh rate to 0 seconds if you don't want the person to
see the intermediary page and you can put a manual link in this page telling
people to update thier booksmarks if you like and this will help for people
if their browser dies on the refresh tag.

Hope that helps
