Using an NTFS Junction Point to achieve what sounds like the same goal has been working for me.

By way of an example, I have a web site with 20+ child IIS Applications that are largely identical (don't ask!), rather than duplicating the 'bin' folder in each of these (they would be identical) each child application has a 'bin' junction that points to the 'bin' folder in the web site root.

/bin           <- this is the actual 'bin' folder
/app1
/app1/bin      <- this is a junction point
/app2
/app2/bin      <- this is a junction point
/app3
/app3/bin      <- this is a junction point
/images
...
...

To create these junction points, if you're using Vista/Win2k8 or later you can use the built-in command 'mklink', for earlier versions of Windows use the SysInternals junction.exe tool - available here.

Maybe make the website route folder a nested application in IIS?
