Michelle had a great item on custom node redirection that she should post some information to the group separately with a snippet to explain. In hook_node_api make sure to check for arg(0) before using drupal_goto otherwise during search result scanning redirection will be wonky.

This code snippet likely will not work, I wrote this on the fly in the doc based on what was being discussed. I may have missed somethings or skipped over proper syntax :P

function MYMODULE_nodeapi($node, $op) {
switch($op) {
   case ‘view’ :
     if (arg(0) == ‘node’ && $node->type == ‘specific type’) {
       drupal_goto(somewhere);
     }
   break;
}
}

Damien appears!!!
We cheer!!
