Trust me, I understand that - SEO is my core competency. Preserving SEO is always in my mind. To clarify, only IE would be served a 301/302... - perhaps to an insterstitial page that sets a required-for-IE cookie. Chome, Firefox, Googlebot, etc would see your site without any issues.

As for rebranding. Surely you don't need to go that far. I mean, sure... it messes up Analytics and adds a few dollars on the Bandwidth bill, but it's nothing too crazy - is it?
