I'm using Visual Studios' built-in ASP.NET Development Server (VWD) to test my web site during development.

I would like this ASP.NET web site to use extensionless URLs (pages don't require the aspx extension). Ordinarily I would configure a custom 404 in IIS that directs to an ASPX page. How would I do this with VWD?

P.S. This is not an ASP.NET MVC web site.
