How can I add location elements programmatically to the web config?

Question

I have an application which creates page routes from a database. My whole site is secured with forms authentication but I need to allow unauthenticated uses to access these routes. I don't want to hard-code <location> tags for the routes in the web.config as this will negate me using a database to generate the routes.

Can anyone help?

Thanks everyone. I've found an answer here

Basically it involves creating a folder for each route and putting a web.config file in it allowing access. This approach needs to be coupled with setting RouteExistingFiles to false so that the routes don't get confused with the folders.
