I believe vsdisco is being depreciated. I seem to remember an issue with security. here it is

http://www.wintellect.com/resources/faqs/default.aspx?faq_id=1&page=4
"Note that VSDISCO files are disabled in the release version of ASP.NET. You can reenable them by uncommenting the line in the section of Machine.config that maps *.vsdisco to System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryRequestHandler and granting the ASPNET user account permission to read the IIS metabase. However, Microsoft is actively discouraging the use of VSDISCO files because they could represent a threat to Web server security.
