Auto forward to another Site collection

Question

I have created a root site collection with following url:

 http://sp.domain.com

I want to auto redirect all users who browse to the root site collection to another site collection with this url:

  http://sp.domain.com/sites/firstSite

so that nobody can use root site collection. What can be the best solution.

Thanks for advices.

Add content editor webpart on your root site collection , http://sp.domain.com and put below javascript in that webpart

<script type="text/javascript">
 window.location = "http://sp.domain.com/sites/firstSite"
</script>

Thank you, I tested your answer. It is right but for a short time users see the root site collection. I would like to redirect the users before they come to the first page of the root site collection. right now I am trying to write a http module but the disadvanteges of http module is they must be registered by editing web.config file. I tested URL-Rewrite which is created by this guy, but no success yet. blog.mastykarz.nl/…
