You have 3 different ways that you can use.

• Redirect
• Server Transfer
• RewritePath
• Let IIS handle it, and create there a new host with virtual directory to your path.

Each one have their positives and negatives. You capture on global.asax the BeginRequest, and there you implement your logic, for example using RewritePath , an example that you need to test and evolve.

protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    string sTheFile = HttpContext.Current.Request.Path;
    string sExtentionOfThisFile = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(sTheFile);

    if (sExtentionOfThisFile.Equals(".aspx", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
    {
        if(Request.Url.Host == "www.hostname2.com")
        {           
            HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("/page/default1.aspx", false);          
        }
        else if(Request.Url.Host == "www.hostname3.com")
        {
            HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("/page/admin/Default3.aspx", false);
        }
        else
        {
            // for default1.aspx - leave it as is       
        }       
    }
}
