First, thank you for the link to web.config transformation. I will read it.

Mainly I need two different web.config files because each application (one in the Site and the other in Virtual Directory) should use a different Form for Form Authentication. That is, pages in one application should be authentication by form MyAuthen1.aspx and the other one by MyAuthen2.aspx. I am not sure that web.config transformation would allow that. But I will check.
