Here is my setup:

I have a hosts file setup on the users machine that takes, for
example, www.youtube.com and redirects it to 127.0.0.1.  On the local
machine is an IIS server that I would like to handle this youtube
request.  So far so good, I can get the request for www.youtube.com
and print out something like "You tried to access www.youtube.com"
from Default.aspx.  However, what about the case when a user tries to
access http://www.youtube.com/video1.aspx or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx
In these cases the IIS server returns "Resource not found" or
something similar, depending on the document being requested.

My question is, how do I set up asp.net and the IIS server to handle
all requests, so I can have it then say "You tried accessing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx."

If this isn't clear in some way please let me know and I'll elaborate.

Thanks!

If you map your IIS 404 error to a general "404.aspx" handler, you can get 
the full requested URL from the querystring (IIS appends it when redirecting 
to the desgnated 404 error page).

I've tried this, however it doesn't seem to work when someone requests
an .aspx page.  That gives a seperate sort of "server error."  Is
there a way to set up a handler for that as well?
