Redirect rules can easily be managed by editing the configuration:

The redirect config is a dexterity object (mainly for ftw.publisher compatibility).
Redirects are only applied if no content is found (404).
Redirect rules are applied top-down: top roles have higherpriority. The first matching rule is applied, later rules arenot considered.
Redirects match when the request path starts with thesource path.
Each rule requires a source path and a destination.
The source path must start with a slash and should not be the site root.
The destination may be a path (starting with a slash) or an URL to an external site.
