How?
Simple, just change the .htaccess file to automatically forward the requests. Basically this would be the ultimate "sybolic link". I don't recall the old "thoughtcast", but just modify this (that should all be on one line btw)...

Code:
Redirect temp http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com.........xml http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/xml/thoughtcast.xml
Using "temp" as the status parameter will return a "302 moved temporarily" header. You can use permanent also, but then the browsers would never look back at the old url.

Actually the best way would be to create something like http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/thoughtscast/ and use the redirect in the .htaccess to point wherever you wish.
