Webredirects

webredirects makes it easy for non-sysadmins to manage URL redirects
and setup site aliases for the Apache webserver. It does
this by allowing URL redirects and site aliases to be created and changed through a
web-based application. It also allows you to define a ‘placeholder’ site, for domains
which point to your domain but have not yet been setup.

The admin interface for managing the redirects stores the redirects and
aliases in an SQL database. The backend of webredirects hooks into Apache
with mod_python and rewrites URLs to their new
location by looking up the redirects and site aliases in the SQL database. It
caches the results of the lookups in memcached
to speedup the URL rewrites.

You can get the latest version from the Git repository:

git clone git://github.com/bart/webredirects.git

Installation instructions are in INSTALL.txt.
