Yes, in Apache you can use config such as this:
AddHandler aspseek-cgi .aseek <- or whatever other suffix you want
Action aspseek-cgi /cgi-bin/s.cgi
Now, any document suffixed with .aseek (which would be an ASPseek template) in
your document root directory would be handed off internally to s.cgi e.g. take
s.htm and place it in your doc root with a name such as s.aseek, customise it,
then call it via http://server.name/s.aseek ... presto.
One caveat emptor here is that this functionality (which was introduced in
version 1.2.8) is broken in versions 1.2.9 and 1.2.10 but is fixed in current
CVS so will work again when 1.2.11 is released.
I've also attached the small patch which fixes this.
