Is it possible to rewrite subfolder to subdomain with IIS7?

Question

I have an asp.net application on sub domain sub.domain.com I want to access this application by typing www.domain.com/sub is it possible with IIS7?

Do you need to do this automatically or are you happy to manually configure this? — Ash Eldritch, Aug 03 '11 at 10:11
Also, do you have an existing application at www.domain.com/ that you want to preserve? — Ash Eldritch, Aug 03 '11 at 10:13
I can do it manually. And yes I have an application working on www.domain.com. — zer0w1dthspace, Aug 03 '11 at 10:17

Assuming you're happy to manually configure the application at each subdomain:

In IIS Manager, go to Sites, and select your www.domain.com site.
Right click it, "Add Application" and specify the alias "sub" and point the physical path to the same location as sub.domain.com
Select the same application pool as the sub.domain.com site.

Alternatively you could set up a redirect by creating a new Virtual Directory in your www.domain.com site, then dropping in a default.html file that does a http redirect.

A posher (and more transparent to the user) redirect could be done like so:

Open an elevated command prompt
run the following command:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config "nameofsite/virtualdirectoryname" -section:system.webServer/httpRedirect -enabled:true -destination:destinationofredirect -commitpath:apphost

I lifted that from: http://www.andrewwestgarth.co.uk/Blog/post/2008/07/31/Creating-Http-Redirects-in-IIS7-on-Virtual-Directories-like-IIS6.aspx

Is it possible to rewrite subfolder to subdomain with IIS7?
