www.gemeinsamlernen.de and www.solill.net will migrate to this new server, but foreign links have to stay intact. So index.html has to be the name for the index files.
When I needed this I just put a index.html in the root that did a <dtml-var index_html>. that way old links still work, but you don't have to do any kind of useless magic, like redirecting index_html. Both foo/index.html, foo/index_html and foo/ are valid and give the same result.
I asked the users whether they would prefer index.html or index_html, and they said index.html would be better. There were 2 main reasons: - index.html is better known from "conventional" web servers - some IE-versions do strange things with mime types when the endings are not in the windows way.
