We are just adding some redirects for an old site to a new one in IIS7 using the URL Rewrite 'plugin'.
The old site's URL are all based on the query string, we'd usually do explicit rewrites like below. But this wont work in the case of the query string.
<rule name="Redirect-1" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="index.php?option=m_content&view=article&id=15&Itemid=16" />
    <action type="Redirect" url="http://newurl/some-page" />
</rule>
So using the 2 URL's above how can we do a 301 redirect?
