IIS 6 mobile device redirect solution needed
Hello, I have a test project where I need to redirect pages based on if the visitor is using a mobile device. I have looked over several techniques and I think the "easier" technique might be to see if I can configure the rules in the website's web.config file. The server is windows 2003, iis 6. I have two websites:
1. desktop version: website.com
2. mobile version: m.website.com
If a visitor lands on website.com/page1.html and they are on a mobile device, the web.config rule should redirect them to m.website.com/page1.html
This rule is the same for all pages on the site (website.com/page2.html should redirect user to m.website.com/page2.html, etc.)
I've copy and pasted the below code from http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/ IIS section and it doesn't seem to work at least under IIS6. Does anyone have any information I can review that could work in a website's IIS 6 web.config file? Thank You.

Thanks for the responsive design links, when we are ready for the production project, we will be designing a single responsive site. This project is a test and the requirements with the vendor I am working with was to set two sites so we can collect some data. I've moved on to writing rules with .htaccess with a IIS plug in that allows to use apache rules since there are some many examples on the web for apache.

Replace that URL with your mobile site.
