Where is the base IIS 7 web.config for accessing system.webServer and how do you edit it through code

Question

I am looking to add an HttpModule to all sites on a web server. For sites not running in pipeline mode this is easy as you place your module in the base web.config.

As IIS 7 pipeline ASP.Net applications use the system.webServer section of the web.config and this doesn't appear to be in the base web.config file, where does this global change go?

thanks in advance

I would imagine in machine.config , take a look at this other entry:
