Is there anyone here that has used http://www.motobit.com/help/url-replacer-rewriter/iis-mod-rewrite.asp - URL Replacer on Windows Server 2003?

I'm about to install this free filter on my box and would like to know if any of you had any problems with it.

Looks good.

This makes IIS almost as good as Apache.

IIS really misses out when it comes to things like URL rewrites, proper compression without an addon to configure it properly, etc

All posible through asp.net though. That mod doesn't seem to be much different to just changing the file name mapping in the IIS Metabase, apart from a alternate querystring, but who wants that?

Apache people have their work cut out because they have an enormous ammount of free mods for the server, on Windows however, there's also alot of good mods, but they cost money, sometimes I think that Windows is a money making machine, no one cares anymore about free distribution. By the way, IIS6 has very good HTTP compression now.

What I want is a way to change this [whatever.com/page.asp?query1=this&query2=that] to this [whatever.com/page/query1/this/query2/that.html] or something like that, but on a website level, so all other websites are not affected by this. How can I change the metabase to accomplish this?

A lot of the IIS level mods I've seen just don't scale well. They're ok for a server with a few sites but when you have 1000 sites on a shared server, they start to crap out.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

isn't that an inherent feature of windows as a general rule?
