What header to use for redirect?

[eluser]mvdg27[/eluser]
Hi guys,

In my CMS I've come up with the concept of symbolic links, to be used in the menu. Normally every menu item just loads a page, but an item with a symbolic link redirects the user to another page (e.g. a to a different language version of the website, or to the photo album).

Now from a SEO perspective, I'm wondering what header I should use for this redirect, is a 301 appropriate here?

Hope someone has some advice on this!
