This sounds like a pretty elegant solution.  What I have done for this problem
and cgi's is to create a directory at the same level as the /web directory
called /cgi-sys or whatever.  Then do a symbolic link:

cd /home/sites/site#/web
ln -s /home/sites/site#/cgi-sys cgi-sys

More than one way to skin a cat, I guess.

Dan, I tried the subweb idea on a site a couple weeks ago, and FrontPage refused
to publish to the web, so resorted to the symbolic link.  FrontPage complained
about ownership and permissions when it encountered that directory on the
server.
