Can I do this with vbseo urlrewrite

I am about to move an wordpress site to vbulletin, and I need to setup a redirect from the old articles url to the new cms articles url. The old site dosent have any forum or blogs, so its only about the articles.

I know that I can setup a custom redirect with vbseo, but from my experience its not possible to avoid the article ID in the url is that corect?

My old url structure is like this:http://www.sitename.com/test.html
I would have liked to keep the structure, but I know that this isent possible, so would it be possible to change it to:
http://www.sitename.com/articles/test.html
or is my only option this (this would make a redirect script impossible right?):
http://www.sitename.com/articles/67-test.html

There would be no way to automate it. You will need to make a rule for each article, and it's probably easier to just do it in the htacess file

Code:

RewriteRule ^topic\.html$ http://www.domain.com/articles/topic-123.html [L,R=301]

for example, one per article.
