IIS 6 URL rewrite/replace

Well a remap would not allow search engines to indes the
site. Correct? I have seen a few ISAPI_Rewrite utilities
for IIS 6, however I am not sure if there is something
that is built into IIS 6 to handle this.

I can tell you there isn't anything built into IIS6 to handle this.

Site Indexing is a function of the URL namespace and is a good thing for an
add-on.

I suspect that site indexing does not work with sites whose page appearance
depends on state stored in the querystring, and a URL Rewrite could be used
as one strategy to "hide" that state as "pathinfo" (cacheable by site
indexers) and later rewritten back to querystring prior to execution on the
server side.

However, I wouldn't say that site indexing requires a URL Rewriter. If you
created a site that is search friendly, it'll naturally be searchable.

I would agree 100% that writing the site so that it could
be index easily would be the best approach on this,
however that is not the case for this scenario.

What are your thoughts on the ISAPI Rewrite tools
available. Such as this one:

I really do not have any experience to thes tools, so I cannot say. It
really seems like a personal functionality and ease-of-use decision.
