How to alias folders for use with IIS?

Question

I have several websites that use the same base files, other than a couple off images and stylesheets.

Instead of having the same DLL's repeated all over the place, I would like to have a bin alias in each of the folders, pointing to another, central location.

I realize I could write deployment scripts to duplicate the reused folders, but hoping for another solution.

Thanks.

I recommend putting your DLLs in the global assembly cache
