@rablegen, I’d really have to see your code to be able to duplicate this. W3TC currently works on several blogs, some of which with hundreds of 301 redirects and redirects from Platinum SEO plugin.
@fredericktownes, thanks for getting back to me.
I’m not sure which code you’d like to see, but here is the code for the simple redirect plugin:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Redirect
Plugin URI: http://www.pancak.es/plugins/redirect/
Description: Simple redirection using Custom Fields.
Author: Nick Berlette
Version: 0.8
Author URI: http://www.pancak.es/
=== How to Use ===
1. On the page or post you wish to redirect from, open up the Custom Fields section
2. Type in 'redirect' for the key, and then any URL for the value
3. Press Add Field, save the post, and you're done!
*/
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-config.php');
add_action('get_header', 'redirect');
function redirect () {
global $post;
if (is_page() || is_object($post)) {
if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect', true)) {
header('Location: ' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect', true));
}
}
}
// yeah, that's the whole plugin.
// great, aint it?
?>
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get this code you provided working even on clean WordPress installation. here are some modifications:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Redirect
Plugin URI: http://www.pancak.es/plugins/redirect/
Description: Simple redirection using Custom Fields.
Author: Nick Berlette
Version: 0.8
Author URI: http://www.pancak.es/
=== How to Use ===

Custom Fields section
2. Type in 'redirect' for the key, and then any URL for the
value
3. Press Add Field, save the post, and you're done!
*/
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-config.php');
add_action('get_header', 'redirect');
function redirect () {
global $post;
if (is_single() && is_object($post)) {
if (get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect', true)) {
header('Location: ' .
get_post_meta($post->ID, 'redirect', true));
}
}
}
// yeah, that's the whole plugin.
// great, aint it?
?>
Anyway as written, it will not work with page cache action because when page is cached the get_header action cannot be called.
