    301 Redirect Issue when using a query string in the virtual url

    I'm trying to put a bunch of 301 redirects in place and I am running into an issue when trying to redirect from a query string. Here is an example of what I am doing:

    <add name="FAQ"
virtualUrl="/content.aspx?PageID=2610"
destinationUrl="/public-reporting/frequently-asked-questions/"
rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
ignoreCase="true"
redirect="Domain"
redirectMode="Permanent" />

<add name="ABOUT"
virtualUrl="/content.aspx?PageID=3040"
destinationUrl="/about-acn/"
rewriteUrlParameter="IncludeQueryStringForRewrite"
ignoreCase="true"
redirect="Domain"
redirectMode="Permanent" />

    I've tried switching rewriteUrlParameter between Include and Exclude, but I really don't feel that has anything to do with it. Am I missing a parameter or do I need to add some kind of regex?

    Unfortunately, all of the pages were in the format of "/content.aspx?PageID=1234", so it's possible that the many rewrites are getting confused by the same root page of "content.aspx"?

    Thanks!

    The answer, for those wondering.

    "?" is a reserved character, so you have to escape it. .

    virtualUrl="(\/content\.aspx\?PageID=3040)"
