Is it possible to manipulate an inbound request at the IIS level, before it even gets assigned to site on the server?

Essentially, I want to rewrite this --

www.somegenericdomain.com?site=someotherdomain

To this --

www.someotherdomain.com

And I need to do this before IIS picks which site the request belongs to, so I need to change the host header prior to this point.

Possible, or crazy? We're running IIS7.

How exactly does a python (django) request happen? does it have to reparse all the codebase?
