NativePaulI'm using the wp-404-handler.php method to get pretty permalinks for my site.
I recently changed the permalink structure from /%post_id%/%postname%/ to /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
The problem is that a lot of links on external sites use the old structure which returns a 404 page. Changing the permalink structure on a local testing server using WAMP didn't do any damage at all.

would intelligently redirect to
http://www.nativenoise.co.za/2009/08/the-winter-olympics-bebop-rocksteady/
Is there any way to do that using the wp-404-handler.php method on a windows server?
This is the code in my wp-404-handler.php file:
<?php
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], ':80')+3);
$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
include('index.php');
?>
