This is not only a FAQ, but a non-DNS question.

You set up a virtual server whose root is "foo" under bar's root.

See <URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html> et
al.  If IIS can't do this, run Apache - fewer bugs, anyway.  Or run
Apache over *BSD or Linux on the Web server.  Lots fewer bugs.
