Hi Francis,

Thanks for your input. What would be the best ways doing it then ?
(I forgot to mention there is a large amount of URLs : +/- 20)

Is this a good way ? :

map $old $new {
oldlink.html newlink.com
oldink2.html newlink2.html
}

location $old {
return 301 $scheme://$host$new;
}

If not, could you show me an example ?

Thanks in advance
