IIS7 urlrewrite module - Rules in external xml file

Question

I'm using IIS7 UrlRewrite module. I set up my rules in the web.config <system.webServer><rewrite> section. I want to know if there's a way to define the rules in one external xml file instead of in web.config file. Thanks.

You can use the sample URL Rewrite providers that include one for storing those in a separate file, see: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/803/using-custom-rewrite-providers-with-url-rewrite-module/
