Our organization gets a lot of ticket requests from the Marketing department to create friendly URLs for our production public facing sites. I'm considering creating a simple internal ASP.NET web form application that will allow them to view and modify the URL rewrite mappings. The app would essentially be a front end for the web.config XML.
The purpose is to streamline the mapping process without providing server/IIS access to non-IT staff.
Are there considerations that would make this ill-advised? This is assuming the modify code is solid and implements all the appropriate validations so malformed XML doesn't break the site.
Alternatively, if there already products which provide the same functionality reliably that would be an option too.
