I added a dummy controller to use as the default controller when the root of the web site is specified. This controller has a single index action that does a redirect to the index.htm site at the root.

{

    {
        return Redirect( Url.Content( "~/index.htm" ) );
    }

}

Note that I'm using this a the documentation of an MVC-based REST web service. If you go to the root of the site, you get the documentation of the service instead of some default web service method.
