title: Multiple Virtual Directories pointed to the same folder on web server
body: <p>I have a presentation web farm with four load-balanced servers. I have one web application with two website domains that represent that application. Rather than constantly push to two different folder locations, I figured I can push to one location and have a virtual directory on each website point to the single folder on the webserver.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the setup:
  The load balancer is CoyotePoint. The web framework is asp.net 3.5. IIS 6 (slowing moving to 7).</p>
  
  <p>I'm concerned about performance in a production environment. Are there any ramifications to having two websites with virtual directories pointing to the same directory on disk? Should I also be worried about application pools?</p>
