Not too sure I understand exactly what you mean, but Alias Pro can 
handle 'path' (ie: /about_us/company/), 'file' (contact.html) and 
combined (ie: /about_us/our_clients.html) aliases.

Well that's one of the downsides of using IIS. I don't have too much 
experience using IIS in a production environment but it's rather 
appalling if such a simple feature can't be implemented easily. 
Especially considering that even simple *nix httpd servers like lighttpd 
handle this out of the box.

We've got Alias Pro running on live sites which serve in excess of 
150,000 page views a month. CPU cycles are cheap these days, I would not 
worry about this too much :)

We've been using Alias Pro (and a few custom variants of it, in order to 
handle 404 pages correctly) on production sites for the last 6 months 
without any trouble.

Best regards,
