Integrating 3rd Party blogging platform

Hi,

I have an existing website which is functioning online well. I want to add 3rd party forum software. What I am trying to achieve is some sort of integration into my existing site. Something like...

http://www.mysite.com/Form

The problem is I dont really want to embed the 3rd party software into my site. Essentially I want the forum to be standalone on IIS and then point to it but still use the same domain without a sub-domain.

Anyone have any advise on this approach? The same goes for a bloggin feature. Blogengine.NET 3rd party software. I want that into site without actually bundling it into my site.

So http://www.mysite.com/Blog

Then I would have a Blog folder and Forum folder outside of my actual site which resides in inetput/wwwroot

So I can just create a virtual folder that points to a physical blogengine folder say on the C:\ ? Im just being a novice. If thats the case then I do feel silly. I have spent all morning trying to embed blogengine into a sub-folder. Not for any specific reason like shared membership profiler. I just thought that how its done.

So I can just point a virtual directory called blog at my physical blogging software folder?

http://www.mysite/blog

points to

C:\Blogengine.NET

Just to clarify.

Thanks.
