So I have the web application for my intranet at the URL "http://sharepoint/" however, I don't want people to be on the root of the web application as its not the actual home page.

I created a separate page which is to serve as the home page of the site and its URL is "http://sharepoint/home/". Now is there a way that I can make it so when a user goes to "http://sharepoint/", it will automatically redirect him to "http://sharepoint/home/"??? How can I achieve this?

Thanks for the help!
