The redirect limit only affects consecutive redirects, so as long as 
your site is not redirecting to a page that redirects to another page 
and so forth... you should be fine. It is actually a best practice to 
redirect after every post to avoid re-posting when the user hits the 
reloads the page or hits the back button (and to avoid that confirmation 
propmpt: "The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA. If you 
resend...").
