Do you mean IIS behavior v.s. Apache behavior?  Are we certain
this isn't a shortcoming of mod_aspdotnet?

.NET is a form of code execution, so the ExecCGI was used to test
that execution is permitted.  We cannot extend the Options directive
to something like Options ExecNET, but we could use an alternate
directive to do something like AspNetOptions [+/-]Exec.
