We have migrated from a static-.html-based site to dnn, but we want users who have bookmarked old .html pages to still be able to get to those.  What I have done is create a virtual directory, "alcc", under the dnn web, which maps to a different physical folder which contains the old .html site, so that the dnn site stays unpolluted.  So, before, "http://site.com/oldpage.html" is now available as, "http://site.com/alcc/oldpage.html".  So I want to capture *.html URLs and stuff in the "alcc/" so the saved bookmarks of faithful users are not broken.
* I started trying to use DNN Friendly URLs to implement this, until it dawned on my that IIS will not send any .html URLs to ASP.NET or DNN.
* I looked at HTTP Redirect in IIS, but this feature seems to be all-or-nothing, I need the *.html mask / regex capability.
* I looked at IIS 7 URL Redirect, but noticed the Friendly URL module, which I need in the DNN site, is already hooked in as the IIS 7 URL Redirect module, and I'm afraid to break that. So...
1. can I add another, generic URL Redirect IIS 7 module that will not conflict w/the one dnn uses to implement friendly URL?
2. Is there a better/easier way to do this?

You might be able to do this through using a combination of a wildcard setting in IIS, and the URL Master module.
