Virtual Directory Permissions

Hi All,

I have aa ASP site that is hosted to the Internet. In this site is a small search engine that customers can use to search for and access public customer information and related documents. Once a query is returned, the site's page logic determines which documents can be viewed as public and thus displayed on the site(and non-public documents are not displayed).

My problem is this, all documents, public and private, are contained within the same document pool. The pool is accessed from the pages via a virtual directory of the document directories on our file server. I need to find out how to lockdown the virtual directory so that only our webpages can access the documents, and not expose the entire document pool to the Internet abroad or bots.

The web server is on NT4. I believe it is IIS4, but not positive. Pointers for WebServer2003 with IIS6 would be aprreciated also, since we'll going to be upgrading this web server in the near future.

Thanks for your help.
