I have done this and it works a treat, which also means I no longer need to run scripts to setup IIS VDirs anymore.
I also use SES so it might be a bit different if you aren't doing this. But I always treat the first in the list for example /myvdir/foo.cfm would be myvdir as a virtual directory, then try to look it up against known clients. If it doesn't match then it must be a dir, and continue. All this info is in the url string so it is easy to work out.
