IIS Rewrite or Mod_Rewrite

Hi,

I have created a website which is using the iis rewrite module to write
the following:

index.php?tn_id=5&ln_id=4 to something like

/contact/directions.html and this works fine

however I have a link at the bottom which needs to pass another variable
through the query string before it would simply be:

index.php?tn_id=5&ln_id=4&ts=75

however if i run

/contact/directions.html?ts=75 it doesn't work and comes up with a 404
page not found error.

Is there anyway around this?

Thanks

Kevin

ah and I see your company lives off ill-managed/spent NHS-pork - i.e. the latest
bullshit multi-billion pound NHS IT overhaul with a zero net gain in efficiency or insight
for end users (you know, nurses, doctors, people actually practice medicine) but
plenty of new managerial posts to supervise all the fantastic (read: over budget and
behind schedule) new IT projects.

governments should run their core IT infrastructures on proprietary, buggy (and overly
expensive) software (especially not when said enterprise has been found guilt of
anti-trust violations in multiple regions)

given that I know kust enough about IIS to stay away from it I can only
recommend that you get yourself a better* job

* better as in less morally abhorent, rather better as in more money - although if
you can achieve both all the better for you :-)

Plus, being forced to use Windows is not a reason not to use Apache!!
