What header to use for redirect?

I re-read what you posted... I think what you're saying is that when someone clicks on one of your menu links, you're sending them to a CI redirect() function, right? If so, I think that might not be a smart idea. 301 redirect's purpose is to inform the browser that this page has been permanently redirected to a new location. You'd be 'abusing' (for lack of a better word) the intended purpose of this directive.

Now, does Google have measures for detecting this practice?? I'm not sure. My gut feeling is that this has a Spammy feeling to it. And it's best (if you are running a 100% white-hat deal), to steer as far away from spammy feeling practices as possible.

That's just my $.02.
