How to force asp.net MVC 2 to redirect to default controller/action

Question

In a brand new ASP.NET MVC2 project, I want the user to be redirected to

http://<mysite>/home/index 

rather than

http://<mysite>/

We do this with our other sites for tracking purposes, to avoid the scenario where hits to the same default page show up as

http://<mysite>/
http://<mysite>/default.aspx

How do I accomplish this so that http://<mysite>/ automatically redirects to whatever default controller/action I have set up in my routing? Please note that I am aware the two are functionally equivalent, as the default controller action will be executed either way. I'm just interested in forcing consistent URLs in the browser.

Something like this should do it, no?

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        string incomingUrl = HttpContext.Request.Url.LocalPath;

        if (incomingUrl == "/")
        {
            return Redirect("/home/index");
        }
        else
        {
            return View();
        }
    }
}
