The setup:

SharePoint 2007 (MOSS Enterprise) on WINSVR03/IIS6
One site collection, with one access mapping (http://mainsite) currently

I'm moving the main SharePoint site, in our one site collection, to be a subsite in a new site collection. I'm using SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard to complete this task (http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/).

The Question

So the main site http://mainsite being moved has many subsites, etc. I want to be sure that urls like this:

http://mainsite/subsite/doclib/doc1.docx

map to and redirect to the new url:

http://newsite/mainsite/subsite/doclib/doc1.docx ?

And furthermore:

I'm aware of this - http://rdacollaboration.codeplex.com/releases/view/28073 , however is it IIS7 only? That'd wouldn't work for me.

Looking at this question - http://serverfault.com/questions/107537/dealing-with-moved-documents-and-sites-in-sharepoint is the only one I see that is similar.

Would an IIS redirect of http://mainsite to http://newsite/mainsite work only for the root url?
