Unfortunately the chat is buggy, but you should be able to specify your rules in the web.config and support can change any necessary mappings. I believe the wildcard might need to be configured to the .NET dll so that the URLs are passed to be handled by your rules instead of a standard error page pulling up for 404. You can always email support@hostmysite.com too.

Even though modules can work, I have found I have more control using a custom 404.aspx. I just setup my custom errors 404 to redirect to 404.aspx. Then I have some code on this page that parses the paths and redirects them to the appropriate page. You get a nice boost on search engines by doing this.

Sounds like John is using some sort of In a Box system. Maybe if he spent more time writing his own code, instead of using prefabricated templates he wouldn't spend the majority of his time being a **** to the friendly support staff at HMS. I always try to be really nice to the HMS support staff when calling in, because I know you guys have to deal with morons like john.

I recommend using the new Routing stuff in 3.5 over the URL Rewriting modules.
