Multisite on IIS and .net website

I’m a .net developer trying to integrate multisite blogging into my existing .net website and have decided to use wordpress. Haven’t done any PHP before but hey it seems quite a fun language.

I’ve followed the instructions for setting up multisite up to the point of adding url routing information to the .htaccess file, which I don’t have as I’m on a windows server / IIS setup.

I’ve read about adding the url rewrite rules to web.config instead, but my question is can I instead just use virtual directories? Each blog would have a seperate virtual directory but they would all point to the same physical wordpress installation.

Would this work?
