Will the BITS service follow HTTP redirects

Question

I have a server that is serving files to several windows clients using the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). If I would like to direct those clients to another server, could I do that by configuring IIS to return an HTTP redirect response to the new service?

Would that work for files that are in progress (but accessed via a RANGE request).

Thanks!
