That said, you should be able to change the name of trace.axd in the
machine.config file to a different name and the HttpHandler it maps to will
answer to that name instead. Note that if you change the extension, you
must make sure that the new extension maps to an extension that ASP.NET
handles. You can change that via the IIS MMC.
