IIS and URL redirection

[EwS]

I'm wondering if the following is possible with IIS...

I have a virtual directory called "test". Let's say I'm using the ip address of '99.9.99.99' and port number of '9999'. In properties of the "test" directory I have "A redirection to a URL" checked and "

http://localhost:9999"

in the "Redirect to" box.

If I type "

http://99.9.99.99/test"

in the browser window,
the address shows "

http://localhost:9999/".

I want to redirect a page to a different URL with the original part of address "

http://99.9.99.99/test"

to show in the browser window, so it's transparent to the user. Is it possible?

Thank you for any help!

why not use host headers which would allow you to simplify things a bit. For instance, I am not certain if you have a domain name, but if you do, you could use host headers to point your webpage to

http://test.yourdomainname.com

which would resolve to

http://99.9.99.99/test.

Using the host headers also allows you to specifiy the port, so this information is never revealed to the end user. Get a domain name, I think Yahoo has them for $4.98 can't beat that! (I bought one and it works just as good as my $35 from register.com) fyi
