My company has about 100 uniqute vanity URLs. We are trying to figure out the best way to do URL rewrites on these.
Paul Sterling told us that the built in umbraco URLRewrite takes up to about 100 and then starts to slow down. We are on IIS 6.0 so we can't use microsoft's IIS 7.0 URL Rewriter.
We are also going live this week with our brand spanking new Umbraco website so I would rather not install something like Isapi and try that. I don't know how to use that product and the forums haven't been very helpful.
So I'm wondering what the best way to go about this is in our situation? We were just going to start loading up the URL rewrite config and monitor it from an outside source and see when we have a slow down.
I ran into this problem before. The weak link here is IIS 6, as it doesn't have the rewriting functionality of 7. To get around this, I set up an IIS / ISAPI module to get the job done. Grab ISAPI_Rewrite here: http://www.isapirewrite.com/ . If you are at all familiar with mod_rewrite for Apache, you'll be at home with this module. It follows the same configuration format. Best of all, you can get the Lite version for free.
