How do I make a 301 redirect (permanently) from url1 to url2?

Permanently redirecting traffic using <cfheader> with statuscode="301" is the best way to ensure that your web-visitors and search engine spiders continue to find content that has permanently moved to a new location.

<cfheader statuscode="301" statustext="Moved permanently">
<cfheader name="Location" value="http://www.newUrl.com">

Should you use this to redirect calls to http://mydomain.com/ on to http://www.mydomain.com/

That should work. With a 301 redirect you are basically saying this old address is gone and now lives at the new address.
