    Yeah, that sounds like it would work, doesn't it?
    Unfortunately, from what I have read it is not possible to
    have an authentication section in that sub-folder's
    web.config. Not all sections are allowed in web.config
    files located in sub-folders. My experimentation bears
    this out also.

    Thanks for the response, though!
