Here is how to create an external file with one or more rewrite maps (source ruslany.net).

You could also use this technique for creating an external file for rewrite rules. See the end the full post on ruslany.net linked above.

Web.config:

<configuration>
<system.webServer>
  <rewrite>
    <rewriteMaps configSource="MyRewriteMaps.config"></rewriteMaps>
    <rules>
      <rule name="Redirect rule for MyRedirects">
        <match url=".*" />
        <conditions>
          <add input="{MyRedirects:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" />
        </conditions>
        <action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" />
      </rule>
    </rules>
  </rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

MyRewriteMaps.config:

<rewriteMaps>
  <rewriteMap name="MyRedirects">
    <add key="/oldurl" value="/newurl" />
    <add key="/otheroldurl" value="/othernewurl" />
  </rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>

Multiple Config Files

The appSettings element can contain a file attribute that points to an external file. It will change web.config file to look like the following:

<appSettings/>

<connectionStrings/>

<system.web>

    <compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true" />

</system.web>

<appSettings file="externalSettings.config"/>

</configuration>
