How to read system.webServer/handlers section of web.config?

I recently moved a few intranet ASP.NET web sites from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008.

IIS7 301 Redirect from a List of URLs

Recent changes are forcing me to add a bunch of 301 redirects. Seems that IIS7 is my best bet as compared to redirects within the files.
