Sitecore 301 Redirect using MVC

Question

We are rebuilding an existing legacy system using MVC4 and Sitecore 7. We however would still like to keep some legacy pages (.chm files which have been bookmarked). I would like to do a 301 redirect of some of these pages using MVC4 in Sitecore.

I googled around and found that in just MVC this could be achieved using this article "http://www.eworldui.net/blog/post/2008/04/ASPNET-MVC---Legacy-Url-Routing.aspx"

However, I am struggling to find how the 301 Redirect would fit in Sitecore MVC implementation ?

If experts could help by providing steps needed to achieve this with pseudo code, that will be greatly appreciated.

We want to make it extensible. We determined that ASP.NET routing is the way to go. But we are struggling to incorporate that within MVC in Sitecore. — Abhishek Shrivastava

There's a Sitecore 301 Redirect Module that can do that: http://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/301_Redirect_module.aspx

If you need source code, that's here: https://github.com/thecadams/301RedirectModule
