Is the current CMS using mySQL?
You may be able to script a mass-import into the WP database and keep the article titles being in the URLs the same way...
1. export data from current site, in a format like tab-separated... you can import into excel, etc... like articleTitle, headline, byline , bodytext,etc
2.set permalink in your Wordpress admin to be the %postname% field.
3. write an import script or use a plug-in so that your articleTitle and your %postname% are the same.
I would try NOT to use the 301's
I would setup the test server at some other subdomain, like test.client.com/whatever-the-pos...
and note, if there are a MILLION pages, you may have to use some caching, as some people recommend not using postname as the permalink alone if you're high-volume....
