According to the current "Ask the Experts" thread on the CCO discussion
forums:
"The approach our CCIE Lab operations is taken is to redirect the queries
that are no longer available at www.cisco.com/univercd to the current and
valid web page.
Every time a page is moved our lab team creates an entry allowing the new
path, so all needed documentation will be available for candidates.
Regards,
Maurilio"
As for redirects outside of Univercd, I believe you have never been able to
get beyond that area since they went to the online format (somebody correct
me if I'm wrong). But what do I know...last time I took the lab you still
had access to the actual CD. ;-)

I was asking questions related to San Jose. Not sure if that applies to all
locations.
