A customer writes with the following problem ...

I am having an ongoing issue with the www.floridaschoolchoice.org
website. www.floridaschoolchoice.org is a domain name that was recently
moved from Zeus (where it pointed to the virtual web at
www.firn.edu/doe/choice on 150.176.9.174) to DCUSTLWS01 (where it points
to a website on 10.10.70.168).

ZEUS is running Solaris 8 with apache; DCUSTLWS01 is a Windows 2000
server running IIS
Since it has moved, I am getting hundreds of 404 Error notifications
from the website. 404 Errors indicate a missing file. Here are a couple
of examples of links that have generated errors. There are many more.
http://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/~doe/fefp/xls/djj0405calc4.xls
http://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/doe/title1/9900t1/files/9900t1pasco.p
df
http://floridaschoolchoice.org/schools/seminole/awill_ms/2003-2004%20Sch

These are all actually valid links on Zeus. The only thing wrong with
the link is the domain name. It appears that www.floridaschoolchoice.org
is getting substituted for www.firn.edu. Here's what the above links
should look like:
