You can't.
If the URL(s) do not exist on the server IIS WILL respond with a 404 status code then you can use my "smart 404"

Ok, so IIS will provide a 404. The link provided looks like it is just replacing one URL with another.
So the easiest way would be to:
1. Trap the 404
2. Parse the friendly part of the URL
3. Redirect to an ASP file that does a database lookup on the PURL part of the URL and build the personalized web page
Ex. - test.com/swiler
Will return a 404 as page does not exist
Break of swiler
Redirect to asp page passing swiler as a querystring

Yes, it works just as an alias does in Apache URL rewriting (mod_alias rather than mod_rewrite)
