How about just making /lookup the page, instead of /lookup/index.asp. You'll have to make sure /lookup is executed as an asp page ( <Location /lookup> ... </Location> ), but once you have that, you can just get the rest from the pathinfo piece of the uri.
Or you could just rename /lookup/index.asp to /lookup.asp and call it via /lookup.asp/event/1234. Slightly less "pretty" but functionally the same, and it saves having to create a Location directive in your config file.

However, using Apache-ASP the last URL above just returns 404 not found, which sortof makes sense. Is there a directive to tell Apache to look backwards (or whatever) in the URL and resolve to use lookup/index.asp? I'm sure it can be done somehow, but I'm not sure... maybe a special <directory> directive? Any tips appreciated!
