IIS redirect non-www to www

I asked my network admin to do a 301 redirect for domain.com
to
redirect to www.domain.com.

He said with IIS that this would create an infinite loop and
wasn't
doable.

I need to direct traffic and page rank to the www version of
our site.
Any ideas how I go about doing this?

Presuming you have IIS6 he can install an extensibility
module that  
supports _proper_ Server-Side Redirection. Here's one
example (and  
there are likely others out there):

Hi Ken,

We've had many of our clients do this redirect. These are
the
instructions we provide:

To perform the redirect, suppose that the content for
www.example.com
comes from c:inetpubwww-example-com:

Open Internet Services Manager and create a web site for
example.com.
Make the content directory for the site be the same
directory, c:
inetpubwww-example-com, as www.example.com.
Test getting content from http://example.com. This
should work, but
won't redirect yet.
Select the xoc.net web site in Internet Services manager and
enter the
properties.
In the Home Directory tab, change the option button
"When connecting
to this resource the content should come from" to
"A redirection to a
URL".
Specify the URL as http://www.example.com.
Check the checkbox that says "A permanent redirection
for this
resource."

Also, Ian McAnerin has similar instructions here:

No infinite loop problem.

Hi Ken

I must admit that I am not convinced that your admin is
correct, but one
option would be to add something like the following to your
pages. 

<%
host =
lcase(request.servervariables("SERVER_NAME"))

 SELECT CASE host
   CASE "domain.com"
      response.redirect "http://www.domain.com&quo
t;
  CASE ELSE
 
  END SELECT
%>

First of all a big hello to all the members in the group.

Now this subject is somewhat familiar with me. In my case I
used a 301
redirect created in .htaccess, using the following code
snippet:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond % ^domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1
[L,R=301]

Hope this helps.

Best regards, George
