title: Setup IIS 6 to only server static files from virtual directories
body: <p>We're having the same setup and receiving the same problem as:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/713025/iis-6-with-wildcard-mapping-and-unc-virtual-directory-problem">IIS 6 with wildcard mapping and UNC virtual directory problem</a></p>
  
  <p><b>Setup</b></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Server 2003 32bit, IIS 6</li>
  <li>ASP.NET wild card mapping</li>
  <li>A virtual directory mapped to an UNC share serving <b>static</b> images for a CMS in a load balancing environment</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My question if it's possible to turn off asp.net from virtual and only serve static files e.g. images in the virtual directory, to avoid the problem with too many open connections?</p>
  
  <p>If it's not possible I'll guess I have to implement a solution like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1862847/version-control-of-uploaded-images-to-file-system">Version control of uploaded images to file system</a> to server the files from a local disc.</p>
  
  <p>I found a possible solution at <a href="http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2008/07/07/overriding-iis6-wildcard-maps-on-individual-directories/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2008/07/07/overriding-iis6-wildcard-maps-on-individual-directories/</a> that removes the wild card mapping and makes it possible to turn of execution of asp.net files.</p>
