Search friendly URLs in IIS

I'm moving some web sites from an IIS5 machine to one running II6.
One of the web sites uses URLs of the form:

http://www.site.com/template.cfm/param1/param2/param3

These parameters are then parsed by application from the CGI PATH_INFO
information. I don't recall what was done to enable this in IIS5, but
on the new IIS6 server this information isn't being passed to the
application server in PATH_INFO. Anyone know how to get IIS to do so?

I forget exactly the combination and I don't have a server handy to
test, but you want to play around with the 2 possible value
combinations of:
1. Existing Application Mapping for .cfm
2. AllowPathInfoForScriptMapping = 0 or 1

The IIS6 defaults function like IIS5, so it sounds like you did not
bring over the necessary configuration for this legacy CGI to
function.
