you might look into mod_rewrite. it's originally an Apache module, but I remember someone saying that there is a free IIS port of it as an ISAPI filter. You can also set up mappings, do conditional rewrites, and alot of other remarkably helpful stuff (including SES urls). I use it on several sites to expose friendly URLs to customers, because for some reason they don't like remembering long query strings. ; )
