When you mention "low-pooled", that implies that you're really creating a
"virtual application" rather than a regular virtual directory. Typically,
when you create a virtual directory, you can have it use the same
application as the site in which it's created.

In any case, you can certainly create virtual directories from CF, although
I wouldn't use CFOBJECT to do all the work. You might take a look at some of
the sample admin scripts that come with IIS (by default, they're in
c:\inetpub\adminscripts). There's one called "mkwebdir.vbs", and you could
call that directly from CFEXECUTE, or rewrite it so that it's a COM object
itself - a Windows Script Component.

Finally, you might take a look at the IHTK components available here:

I don't think they give you control over creating virtual applications, just
virtual directories, but maybe you don't need a virtual application in any
case.
