I think it would depend. Where is your website hosted? On what type of server? There would be a different method for achieving this via Cpanel on a linux server than there would via IIS on a Windows server. etc.

RE: Redirect helpposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
You'll have to put individual redirects in place if you want a specific old directory to redirect to a specific new directory. You can set those up in IIS on the www.neat-stuff.com website.
Then, if you append the $S$Q to the root of the neat-stuff.com (non-www) website, it should all work fine.
This writeup was helpful for me when I learned to set this up.

As long as all your redirects are already working on the new site, you should be fine.
Look into the article I posted above. You essentially need to create a dummy non-www website in IIS that redirects to the new site. Right now you probably just have both the www and non-www versions declared in the host header of the new site.
