>What I did was to create a virtual directory under the main site which points to another branch out of IIS. So, when I do http://localhost/MyNameOfWebVirtualDirectory, it works.

That's what I usually do as well. Another approach if you don't have a domain name is to create the new Web site on your client machine and assign it another port. That way you have a fully self contained site rather than a virtual.

Note: this works only with Server versions of the OS. XP and Win2k Pro don't allow for multiple Web sites with IIS.
