Lately i have implemented entire site with URL rewriting using ISAPI Rewrite and during this process by mistake google has create over 1000 pages with duplicate Title tag and description tag

e.g

/carrom-large-nokhockey-set-p-ccm20.htm

/carrom-large-nokhockeyset-p-ccm20.htm

contains the same title and description tag. This happened due to some changes I made in generating urls as you can see above. Now I am not sure how do I remove one of the page for such 1000s diff. urls. Both URL will work fine since it has required parameter with my rules

Is there any way to do 301 redirect for 1000s of page where all pages are different ? just to do clean up ?

I am hoping someone gives me some idea using ISAPI rewrite too which allows me to do this. What if I can generate one .txt file with from and to url for 301 redirect and use ISAPI rewrite rule somehow to do this..please help me with required rule

Thanks

How much perfomance degration will be if I have about 1000-1500 url mapped such a way ?.

I beleive ISAPI has to check everything in this file and all the content while any request is being made.

In fact I do not care for those pages..

Is there any rule which one will do 404 so google know that this page do not exist anymore...I keep this file with 404 redirect for a while and then will remove mapfile after google removes from their list.
