    integrating a forum into Umbraco 5

    I currently have two MVC 3 Forum applications which I have been using upto now, one is mvcForum and the other is nearforums.

    what I would like to do is to get one of these forums to integrate with Umbraco so that when user navigate to this address pattern: companyname.servername.co.uk/forum they are presented with the installed third party forum application.


    At this present moment in time I do have an installation of nearforums which is found at this address: forum.sd1devserv.co.uk


    Would it be better to:

    • attempt an integration with Umbraco 5,
    •  revert back to v4.7 which does have a package for forums and also can be integrated with third party applications,
    • leave the forum on a subdomain as it currently is
    • or wait for an appriopriate v5 forum package?

    It was suggested by Alex Norcliffe that an integration could be acheived by using Application Request Routing rules or Routing, since I am fairly new to Umbraco could anyone give me any advice?
