The Best of Both Phone, and Tablet
Publisher's Description
From Ionic Shade:
Apache has mod_rewrite; now IIS has a small, cheap (free) rewriting module Ionic's ISAPI Rewriting Filter (IIRF). Specify rewrite rules using regular expressions. An incoming URL like http://foo/bar/bam can be translated into http://foo/baz/bam.jsp or http://foo/baz/bam.php. ASP.NET has a URL mapping mechanism, but it works only for filetypes that are handled by ASP.NET: aspx, ascx, asmx, and so on. For static files or non-ASP.NET files, (XML, GIF, JPEG, CSS), the ASP.NET mapping won't work cleanly. IIS, like Apache's HTTP server, has an extension mechanism: it is called the ISAPI filter. There are commercial ISAPI filters that endow IIS with the ability to re-write URLs. This is a cheap and powerful alternative. Version 2 includes enhancements for use on large-scale servers with many multiple Web sites, Now, install the ISAPI filter once, and configure each Web site or Web application independently.
What's new in this version: Version 2 includes enhancements for use on large-scale servers with many multiple Web sites, Now, install the ISAPI filter once, and configure each Web site or Web application independently.

"An excellent FREE, URL re-writer for IIS5 & IIS6"
Version: Ionic's ISAPI Rewriting Filter 2
Pros
A super bit of software that will save you from spending $99 per website for another product. a complete tutorial on how to install this with Drupal or WordPress can be found here: http://www.caspianit.co.uk/iirf-drupal-and-iis6/
Cons
Not that easy to get your head round to start with, it can take a bit of digging round the Internet to find an easy way to get it up and running
Summary
I have 40 websites on my server using ColdFusion, Drupal and WordPress. Ionic Shade's IIRF works with them all.
If you follow the instructions I found here: http://www.caspianit.co.uk/iirf-drupal-and-iis6/ you will find this bit a software an absolute gem (and it will save you a lot of money!)
