non-existent non-aspx file requests not getting passed to ASP.NET?

[Les Caudle]

If a non-aspx file is requested, like "domain.com/school", IIS is not passing
this on to ASP.NET 2.0 so that urlMappings can take place in Web.Config.

IIS is simply returning a 404 and not passing the request on.

<urlMappings enabled="true">
<add
url="~/school"
mappedUrl="~/Schools.aspx" />
</urlMappings>

How can I resolve this?

That is not the purpose. You are attempting a directory to a page. The idea
behind urlMappings is a page to another page, possibly with url parameters.
If you want to take directory paths to pages, you will have to use an
HttpHandler. Example:
