when IIS recieves a request for http://foo.bar.com/ , is scans the directory
for a default page, and if found, then sends a redirect to the browser. the
browser then sends a request the new url (this is what you see in the server
variables).

you could write a module that did not use the redirect method, but used url
rewriting and passed the original url as an additional header that the pages
could lookup.
