As far as ASP figuring out which page to send IIS (4/5) can handle virtual
sites on the same address. Create a virtual site for each host
(www,www1,www100000,whatever) and set them to the same ip with a different
header (www1.domain.com) for each site. The other way is to have one site
for the ip address and have asp look up Request.ServerVariables(I think it's
"SERVER_NAME"). Of course this is assuming that you have all of the hosts
defined in DNS. It's not quite wildcarding, but if you could narrow it down
to about 20 hosts it might be close enough.
