301 Redirect in IIS needs to keep domain

[TheSeoGuy]

I set up a 301 redirect in IIS 6 doing the following:

In the home directory, I chose the following options.
A redirection to a URL
Redirect to: [ACTUAL URL]
With the following two options checked.
[x] The exact URL entered above
[x] A permanent redirection for this resource

When I go to the domain (example.com), I get redirected to the [ACTUAL URL] as desired, but the URL in my browser changes to the [ACTUAL URL]... We would like the domain to stay (example.com)

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you need a redirect, as opposed to a rewrite?. Haven't set up a rewrite via IIS, but can easily be done with htaccess

As Trav says, you need a rewrite which isn't possible with the standard IIS6 console. The redirection you have set up actually sends (redirects) the requesting agent to the new URL as opposed to rewriting the URL.

One option is to use ISAPI_Rewrite to achieve what you need.
