URL re-writing in classic ASP

I want to automagically rewrite a url like:

www.blah.com/index.asp?client=123

to

www.blah.com/jonnyD

What's the best approach to this using classic ASP?
Do I need a 3rd party component or can this be done using IIS?
(don't mind paying for something if it works better)

Thanks,
Peter

sub getClient
dim dict, url
set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
dict.Add "123", "jonnyD"
if dict.Exists(client) then
url = dict.Item(client)
Response.Redirect "/" & url
end if
set dict = nothing
end sub

http://kiddanger.com?client=123

I'm using my default document. In it I call the sub with:

dim client
client = Request.QueryString("client")
if client <> "" then
getClient
end if

HTH...
