virtual-directory

We're using ASP.NET and IIS 6.0. I realise that the definitions of applications, websites and virtual directories are ill-defined in IIS 6, and changed a lot in IIS 7. However, I'm stuck with IIS 6.0 for now. We have a single web site defined in IIS, and a number of separate sub-sites in Virtual Directories. The scheme looks like this:- http://site.example.com/site1 http://site.example.com/site2 .. etc .. site1, site2, ... are virtual directories in IIS 6.0, under the "Default Web Site".

I see that junctions are a common way of referencing shared code in many projects. However, I have not seen them used in web applications before. Our team is exploring the possibility of abandoning virtual directories in favor of junctions to simplify our build process. My goal is to compile a list of pros and cons in order to make an informed decision regarding this change. Is it more appropriate to use junctions or virtual directories on web application projects?

I'm using the Visual Studio Development Server, with a specific port. Is there a way to add a virtual directory to it? EDIT: Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I'd like to be able to add one or more virtual directories to arbitrary physical directories. For instance: http://localhost/c_drive/ would map to C:\, http://localhost:/d_drive/ would map to D:\, etc. The Visual Studio Development Server is codenamed Cassini. From ASP.NET 2.0: A Getting Started Guide Cassini doesn't support virtual directories, security settings, or any of IIS's other fancy features; it's just a very simple web server that
