http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.ascii
>Description:
One of the most common invalid links on the entire www.FreeBSD.org site is 

http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.ascii

This used to be a valid link, but was moved.  http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ provides a redirect to the new location, but the links to specific files in that directory, eg HTML, postscript, and ascii builds of the documentation, return a 404 instead of a content-moved response.

We should redirect users and crawlers to the new location of these builds of the FAQ.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Setup a redirect on the www.freebsd.org webserver for the entire FAQ/ directory hierarchy, not just the single /FAQ page.
