Question : How can I make an easier URL?

Hello,

I know others have asked this question before, but the solution never quite meets what I'm looking to do.
 
I work for a retail company that sends out mailers to their clients.  We want to start including easy to read personalized URLs.  Each customer has their own ID number so when they visit their personal site it will be personalized.  

What I want to accomplish is to create an easier to use and type URL.

Instead of:
http://www.mysiteslongurl.com/pages/site.asp?cid=1141022

I would like to do:
http://www.shrturl.com/1141022 and have it automatically redirect to:
http://www.mysiteslongurl.com/pages/site.asp?cid=1141022

I dont care if the customer sees this long URL, I'm more concerned that they wont be willing or capable of typing the long url in their browser.

Is there any solutions, ideas, or scripts I could use?

Thanks!
Matt

UrlRewriting is one way to go:

Or design your own webservice say hosted on www.shorturl.com.
1: When you send email....you store the redirecting url inside a table with key= the userid or may be something unique.
2: So when user clicks the link grab the key, get redirecturl and redirect them.
