AFAIK you just need to create your own sitemap provider. AFAIAR Vicenç Masanas blogged about it

Actually, the provider and its framework are great. i just want sitemap.xml to be the URL that answers the call.

Where as this:

<add name="SitemapHandler" path="Sitemap.aspx" verb="*" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Sitemap.SitemapHandler, DotNetNuke" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />

Becomes this:

<add name="SitemapHandler" path="Sitemap.xml" verb="*" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Sitemap.SitemapHandler, DotNetNuke" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv2.0" />

Add this to your robots.txt file and you will be fine.
Sitemap: http://www.xxxx.com/Sitemap.aspx

(But there are major bugs in DNN sitemap.aspx buts that an other story.)

 Lucas - the problem is that the .xml extension is not mapped to the asp.net runtime, so when the sitemap.xml request is made, IIS doesn't give the request to asp.net to process - instead it uses the static file handler and in turn you (probably) receive a 404 error.

The resolution in this case is pretty easy - just map .xml to the asp.net runtime in IIS.  But I've never actually tried this - there may be issues.  I would say the correct response is to switch it on and see what happens.  I do know if you're using one of my rewriters you'll be ok in terms of not causing issues with the Url Rewritine module.  That might not be true if you have the standard url rewriter, because I don't think it has code that filters out .xml extensions (could be wrong, working from memory here).

Last time I checked google does NOT 'automatically' look for sitemap.xml files on a site.

Google and all search engines can make use of sitemap files in one of two ways.

1. the sitemap file is explicitly registered with the search engine via its submission tools.

in which case you can declare  http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.aspx  and the search engine will work perfectly 
it does not need to be called sitemap.xml

2. the sitemap file is declared in your robots.txt file  

User-Agent: *
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.aspx

Again there is no need for the file to be called sitemap.xml
