    URL Rewrite: Is This Possible?

    Hey guys, I am going to need to create a rewrite right off of the root of a site. I have a field in a database and I need to do a rewrite like this:

    http://www.mysite.com/some-dealer-name

    Which would then redirect to "/view.aspx?dealer=some-dealer-name"

    Is that even possible to redirect like that right off the site root?

    It should be possible. I'm thinking something ike this would work:

    <add name="YourRewriteRule" virtualUrl="^~/([0-9a-z-]+)(.aspx)?$" rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="~/view.aspx?dealer=$1" ignoreCase="true" regexOptions="RightToLeft" />

     

    Edit: Now that I test it out, everything at the top level will get redirected unless there is some path or prefix to test for.

    That would be fine I guess... except I have some subpages configured to use different hostnames. How do hostnames play into URL rewrites?

    That doesn't work for me in any case... any other suggestions? This is a tricky one, URL rewrites always confuse me!
