How to manage broken links to SharePoint sites when moving SharePoint sites to new servers?

We are preparing our current SharePoint Services 3.0 servers to be upgraded to SharePoint 2010. In the process, we will retire and migrate some of the old servers. This means that some of the URL’s that users are using for these old SharePoint sites will change to the new ones. New SharePoint servers would have different names from the old ones. We have about 120 users, but hundreds of short cuts, links on web pages, favorites, and the like that will no longer work. Can somebody offer some advice on how to handle this and avoid frustrate users with broken links?

Check out the "Server URL has changed and users have bookmarks" section in this blog posting I ran across today - http://www.toddklindt.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=48

I didn't know IIS had redirect variables.
Wow, that's an awesome link Quihong!  Thanks!
