How can I add multiple ServerBindings to IIS6 using powershell?

Question

I'm having real issues trying to add multiple serverbindings to a single website using powershell!

Currently i have the following code:

    function UpdateMetaBaseProperties($dirEntry, $Properties)
    {
        foreach($Prop in $Properties)
        {
         $KeyValue = $Prop.Split('=');  
         $dirEntry.psbase.Invoke("Put", ($KeyValue[0], $KeyValue[1]));
         $dirEntry.psbase.Invoke("SetInfo");  
         Write-Host "Setting property: $KeyValue";
        }
    }

which is working for single valued properties but i can't seem to work out how to add as multiple.

I've tried

1. Passing as array (throws exception)
2. Passing as comma seperated string (puts all the string into 1 host entry)
3. Passing as semi-colon seperated string (puts all the string into 1 host entry)
4. Running the put twice (only saves the last host entry)

I've been searching an searching on google but nothing seems to work!

Please help!! :(

You'll have a way easier time of it if you install the IIS powershell provider from www.iis.net ( http://www.iis.net/1664/ItemPermalink.ashx )

Here you go:

$site = [adsi]"IIS://localhost/w3svc/$siteid"
$site.ServerBindings.Insert($site.ServerBindings.Count, ":80:$hostheader")
$site.SetInfo()
