  Re: Maximum number of rewrite rules Reply Contact If you have so many permanent redirects and they are all unique pages, then you should consider using rewrite maps, instead of creating 10,000 rewrite rules. To learn more about rewrite maps in URL rewrite module check out these links: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/469/using-rewrite-maps-in-url-rewrite-module/ http://ruslany.net/2008/07/iisnet-uses-url-rewrite-module/   http://ruslany.net

FYI, when I put them in the web.config file, I got an error message complaining the web.config file was too big (it was just over 2MB in size). Regards Dave

You can change regkey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\Configuration\MaxWebConfigFileSizeInKB to allow bigger web.config if needed. Read more here. -Kanwal-

Regards Dave   Seriously if you web.config is that big I would look at some other way of solving your problem.  Most overused word in IT is 'should' as in 'That should work!?!'

  Re: Maximum number of rewrite rules Reply Contact As an alternative to putting huge rewrite map into applicationHost.config you can put it into a separate config file and then reference that config file from your web.config: For example, create a file named rewritemaps.config and put this inside of it: <rewriteMaps>  <rewriteMap name="TestMap" >   <add key="foo" value="bar" />   <add key="goo" value="dada" />  </rewriteMap> </rewriteMaps> Then in your web.config reference this file: <rewriteMaps configSource="rewritemaps.config" /> http://ruslany.net
