IIS 6.0 Is this redirection / masking possible?

Hi folks
I have a web application for a client set up in IIS, the web application is based around the clients name, for example the webuser account is the clients name, database name is clients name, registry entries, ladap entires etc - They all use the clients company name.
Problem is now THE CLIENT COMPANIES NAME HAS CHANGED
Therefore I also need to change the URL directing them to their application. Is there anyway I can keep the existing virtual directory in IIS for the old client company name and create a mask containing the new company name pointing to the existing virtual directory?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Please and thanks
don

Just add a new host header in the site for the new domain name.

Unfortuantely this clients application is set up as a virtual directory, there are several viryual directories for different clients under the root web site - Is it possible to assign a host header to a virtual directory as all client web apps have the same ip address ?

Can't you simply create a new virtual directory pointing to the existing files?

Unfortunately not - the virtual directory name must remain the same as its used throughout the application for security and in the com components:

For example Virtual directory name is oldcompany

OLD website name is:www.mypages.com/oldcompany
NEW website name is:www.mypages.com/newcompany

I need the URL :www.mypages.com/newcompany to point to the Virtual directory: oldcompany

There is a commercial component iisrewrite that might be helpful. Otherwise I don't know of anything built-in to IIS to do what you want. You can certainly have newcompany point to the oldcompany files, which is what I recommended above.
