There seems to be some FUD going on here. The solution to the OP problem is simply to use 301 redirects with Cache-Control headers to limit caching to some reasonably short duration. It is true that browsers will cache 301 redirects eternally, but only if the server does not supply cache directives to indicate otherwise. For this reason, it is always advisable to include some cache directives in 301 redirect response…
If it's not permanent then just keep it temporary... I don't see the problem here
Part of the problem is the belief that a 301 is the best option for SEO because it passes 'link juice'. Evidence for this being true will always be some random blog post from a self proclaimed expert. My default option is always a 302 for the simple fact that it isn't going to be cached and can be easily changed with no ill effects. I've yet to notice any disadvantage from an seo point of view.

In this case, permanent == indefinite, and temporary == ephemeral is a good way to think of it.
