What you should really do is define three virtual server sites using host
headers, such that:
abc.com references \inetpub\abcroot as its root folder
stu.com references \inetpub\sturoot as its root folder
xyz.com references \inetpub\xyzroot as its root folder

Setup the same folder structure on W2K Pro and then just change the root
folder to the appropriate site as needed (W2K Pro only allows for one web
site at a time).
