Redirection per user agent string.

Question

Hi folks,
I'm looking to redirect older IE clients away from a new SharePoint 2013 installation based on the user agent string. The redirect needs to only affect the home page as we still expect to allow direct URLs to content such as policy documents through.
The only way I know of to do this is to add a brief piece of server-side code into the home.aspx that assesses the user agent string but I'm wondering if within SharePoint 2013 there's a better way to manage the redirection of specific browser versions?
(Specifically any version of IE prior to version 9)
Cheers,
Lain

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
if(navigator.appName == "Mozilla")
window.location = "ff/index.html"
if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
window.location = "ie/index.html"
if(navigator.appName == "Google Chrome")
window.location = "ch/index.html"
if(navigator.appName == "Safari")
window.location = "sa/index.html"
if(navigator.appName == "Google Chrome")
window.location = "ch/index.html"
window.location == "un/index.html"
</script>
Or
var redirects = {
"Mozilla": "ff",
"Microsoft Internet Explorer": "ie",
"Google Chrome": "ch",
"Safari": "sa",
"Google Chrome": "ch"
window.location = (redirects[navigator.appName] || "un") + "/index.html";For IE<!--[if IE]><p>You are using Internet Explorer.</p><![endif]-->
