[Zope] efficient internal redirect

Thankyou for replying

Whilst this is I'm sure a useful mechanism redirecting
whole folders is overkill for what I need to do.  I have
many links into a tree and wish to have a very simple format
for the external links and an internal mapping mechanism
which maps each link to its real URL.  My question remains.
What's the most run-time-efficient (not development-time-efficient)
way of doing it?  I think you gave me the quickest development
route which is not quite what I was asking.
