We are running a site with multiple languages hosted in a single environment on IIS7. For example,

  • oursite.com - english
  • oursite.de - german
  • oursite.es - spanish

This is a single-host environment. All of these sites are in the same application space on the same physical machine.

I need to do cross-submission of sitemaps via robots.txt. Looking at the sitemap.org guidelines for this suggest this is possible, but the example indicates different physical machines.

Will the following entries in oursite.com/robots.txt work?

http://www.oursite.com/sitemap-oursite-de.xml
http://www.oursite.com/sitemap-oursite-es.xml

I'm not sure if it'll work this way (my guess is it won't), but I think your best bet here is to use some sort of rewrite rule to identify which domain the site is running on and display the appropriate robots.txt for it.
