Ok, you say that you currently have your files on an NT server, and that
you're going to be moving them to FreeBSD running Apache + FrontPage?

The solution is easy, and doesn't require a case-insensitive filesystem,
it doesn't require any fancy scripting, and it doesn't require any
additional apache modules.

Use the Frontpage explorer to publish/import your current webs to the new
server. As it's doing so, it will make sure that all links/filenames match
up (not always pretty, but at least your HTML won't break). Trust me on
this, I've done it many times.
